Snakes, Alligators, and Broken Hearts: Journeys of a Biologist’s Son

by Sneed B. Collard III

Award-winning science author Sneed B. Collard III recounts his adventures growing up as the son of a biologist during the 1960s and 70s. With humor and compassion, the author describes the innocence of his early childhood, the heartbreak of his parents’ divorce, and his rocky journey through adolescence—all against the backdrop of animals, travel, politics, and his poignant relationship with his father. Along the way, readers will discover the experiences that shaped his interests and, eventually, molded him into an author of books for young people.
