Review Quotes

CIPA EVVY Award Gold for Children's Nonfiction Picture Book

Let Me Tell You About My Mom is a finalist in the Children's Picture Book category from the Highland Plains Book Awards

"Ron's unwavering passion for capturing the wonders of the natural world, and his keen eye for photographic detail, shine through in this delightfully illustrated children's book. Ron and Casey have crafted an engaging and informative guide for young readers eager to learn about wild animal moms and their adorable babies." --Mark Raycroft, award-winning author, wildlife photographer, & biologist

"Casey Rislov's picture book, Let Me Tell You About My Mom, is a 'Grow-with-Me book for babies to early grade school.' The story is told in simple language, frequently switching from the first-person narrative (speaking from the point of view of the animal baby) to the third-person narrative, describing the animal and its unique qualities and care requirements. The photographs by Ron Hayes are superb and certainly add some zest to the narrative. This is a great book for the very young as well as early readers who will benefit from the repeated sentences on each page that will spark their reading skills." -- Readers' Favorite Book Review

"The relationship between a wild baby animal and its mother is critically important. This book helps children learn about this with biologically accurate information in a fun and interesting way." --Stan Tekiela, author, naturalist, and wildlife photographer

About the Author

Ron Hayes is a wildlife photographer and filmmaker. He resides in Wyoming where his family has been since the late 1800s. He has a degree in wildlife biology, and this knowledge base allows him to capture behaviors on camera that most would never notice. See more of Ron's work at westernwildlifeimages.com, and on the Wild and Exposed podcast, wildandexposed.com, and the Wild and Exposed podcast channel on YouTube. Casey Rislov treasures time with her family in the wide-open spaces of the West. Her sons' curiosity is wilder than the wildlife on these grand adventures, and her Mother's Day gifts have included rocks, squirmy worms, and even a horned toad. Casey Rislov has a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Wyoming and a master's degree in education from Montana State University.
