Children's

Don W. Hardeman Jr. spent four and a half years as a black bear biologist in Florida where he conducted research on female black bear behavior in the human-dominated landscape. He specializes in mammalian ecology (carnivores, mammals, and bats) and has extensive experience as a lead biologist on mammal projects across the country, including the San Clemente Island fox project in California.

Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love—written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
