Ami Dobelle has had an extensive career at zoos and aquariums. She has studied animals and animal behavior for over twenty years. Ami is an experienced educator and animal trainer who has appeared as an animal expert on multiple television shows. Her hands-on work with animals inspired her to write and illustrate Animal Dads. Ami Dobelle is also the author/illustrator for Animal Groups and currently seeking professional representation for this new book.
Animal Dads is a non-fiction children's book based on real animal dads whose parenting skills are above others in the animal kingdom. The book is written in verse and there are fun illustrations of dads who incubate or care for their young. From seahorses to emperor penguins, readers will learn how these animal dads are number one when raising their offspring.
All of the illustrations for the book are traditionally hand-painted watercolor paintings. They were created the "old fashioned way" with no drawing apps or photoshop used.
