- The Story behind "Quest for the Tree Kangaroo" Young, Terrell A. Ward, Barbara A. Childrens Literature Anthropology Editing Foreign Countries Library Services Awards Photography Interviews Natural Sciences Conservation (Environment) Geography The National Council of Teachers of English awarded the coveted nonfiction prize to "Quest for the Tree Kangaroo: An Expedition to the Cloud Forest of New Guinea." Written by Sy Montgomery, with photographs by Nic Bishop, the book was further honored as a Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal Honor recipient by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). Kate O'Sullivan, the pair's Houghton Mifflin editor, notes that, "Sy's writing--filled with humor, grace, and unforgettable description and insight--is perfectly matched by Nic's stunning photos, and it's through this precise balance of words and images that kids easily learn about geography, natural science, conservation, and anthropology." This article focuses on the collaboration of author (Sy Montgomery), photographer (Nic Bishop), editor (Kate O'Sullivan), and book designer (Lisa Diercks) that culminated in the publication of "Quest for the Tree Kangaroo." It presents an interview with these four individuals to garner the inside story of an Orbis Pictus Medal winner and the team effort that resulted.
