the 1988 Caldecott Medal for U.S. children's book
illustration, recognizing<em> Owl Moon</em> by Jane Yolen,
which recounts the story of the first time a father takes
his youngest child on a traditional outing to spot an owl.
He was posthumously inducted by the Science Fiction and
Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2015. Schoenherr may be known best
as the original illustrator of the dust jacket art of <em>Dune</em>,
a 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert that
inaugurated a book series and media franchise. He had
previously illustrated the serializations of the novel in <em>Analog</em>,
an endeavor that secured him a 1965 Hugo Award for Best
Professional Artist. Schoenherr was also very well known as
a wildlife artist and children's book illustrator, with over
forty books to his credit. Most of his black-and-white
illustration work used the scratchboard technique, and he
was long known as the only commercial artist who specialized
in it. His paintings were often egg tempera, another unusual
medium. Schoenherr also completed paintings for NASA.
Schoenherr's knowledge of zoology was very useful in
creating alien creatures. He was a member of the American
Society of Mammalogists, the Society of Animal Artists, and
the Society of Illustrators.<strong> </strong><br>

height="158" align="left"></a>"Julian May’s children’s
book <em>The Big Island: A Story of Isle Royale</em> was
originally published in 1968 but the timeless tale continues
to educate and inspire young minds today. Isle Royale is
considered one of the most remote National Parks and is
located off the coast of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, in the
waters of Lake Superior. The book tells the story of Isle
Royale’s most popular four-legged creatures, the moose and
the wolves. <em>The Big Island </em>is a classic read for
any budding young nature enthusiast and explores the concept
of a balanced ecosystem. With an effective blend of local
history and a love of nature, Julian May writes about how
the moose and wolves came to live on the island. She also
tells about how people first came to the island and about
the time period that Isle Royale became a National Park. The
book delves into the park rangers’ various methods of
intervention on behalf of the overcrowded and starving moose
population. It also tells how the best solution was found
when wolves arrived on the island naturally to establish a
balanced environment. The Big Island provides readers of all
ages some valuable insight into the predator-prey
relationship of the moose and wolves of the island and their
roles in the great circle of life. Stunningly realistic
illustrations of moose, wolves, and other island wildlife
cover the pages of this exceptional book". -- <a
