Produktbeschreibung
Billiam, an ordinarily grumpy Cape buffalo, becomes utterly ecstatic when he learns that the Red-billed Oxpeckers are no longer facing extinction, and they become his best friends. These truly unique birds stick with him through the thick and thin of life smack in the heart of Africa. Billiam touts how they protect him from predators like big cats and crocodiles by hissing, and he discovers that these birds are the only creatures that purposely seek and devour his disgusting disease-carrying ticks. After a long time in captivity, it's a super good thing that these birds are still around because giraffes were going down without them. Packed with fun phonics, and a few things that only a happy buffalo would say. The ticks in my book are a visual reminder that the ever-creepy parasites are constantly on the move. We strive to be protected from predators and a better awareness of these tiny vampires (Deer Ticks are MUCH smaller than Black Legged Ticks) is a wonderful step in that direction." Instilling a better awareness of disease-carrying parasites, and includes ideas for protecting yourself from ticks in the back of the book.
Autorenporträt
Jo Delle Stanley is the Indie author and illustrator of The Fantastic Red-bills Got My Back. After 12 years of researching everything from dance to music to bring these fascinating creatures and their environments to life, this marks Jo's first book. Initially, she had no plans to illustrate the story, but her family inspired her to create the artwork. In the end, Jo discovered a love for digital art and found making the pictures as fun-if not more fun-than inventing dialogue for a Cape Buffalo sailor from the 19th century. Jo is passionate about animals, and reading, and treasures the phonics sprinkled throughout the English language. She likes listening to "Linus and Lucy" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, Caesar salad, and her four calling birds and three French hens-she actually has five Silver Laced Wyandotte chickens.Currently, Jo is working on her next illustrated book, which focuses on species that are no longer facing extinction. She has three amazing children, and three wonderful grandbabies. Jo lives in Central Ohio with her husband and two dogs named Noodle and Duke.
