Sy Montgomery

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sy_Montgomery

Naturalist, author and scriptwriter who writes for children as well as adults.

“How to be a good creature. How do you be compassionate?… I think that animals teach compassion better than anything else and compassion doesn’t necessarily just mean a little mouse with a sore foot and you try to fix it. It means getting yourself inside the mind and heart of someone else. Seeing someone’s soul, looking for their truth. Animals teach you all of that and that’s how you get compassion and heart.”
