I am deeply touched by this story of Bucky and me.
Patty Shenker has captured a very important time in my childhood,
specifically a time that set the foundation for my life's work.
Seventy years later, I still fondly remember my little friend and the fun
days we spent together in his pond.
Her words, beautifully illustrated by David Walega, demonstrate that when a
child is touched by the wild, it is a lasting and powerful connection.
Patty Shenker is an animal and human rights advocate from Los Angeles, California. After becoming vegetarian more than 40 years ago, Patty realized her passion for animal welfare and has pursued this noble goal ever since.
