The author and illustrators observed and met with bat researchers in the field and in the lab during the production of this book. During our visits, we learned a lot about bats and bat research, and those ideas are reflected in the book. The photos on this page and many in the book were taken during those visits. We had opportunities meet some bats up close and personal, too! We hope the field work adds to the authenticity of the Conservation Tales series.
