Today, January 29, 2025, marks the beginning of the New Year on the lunar calendar and is celebrated by the Chinese and many other people.
Much like the snake sheds its skin, 2025 marks a year when individuals and communities can let go of old patterns and embrace innovation. The Year of the Snake serves as a call for thoughtful action and strategic change.
A number of my books for children have snakes in them. In 1991 I published SNAKE, illustrated with photos by Richard Hewett, featuring a Rosy Boa that was used in educational programs at the Los Angeles Zoo. It was one of my most popular animal books. The hardcover book is out of print, although you still may be able to find it in some libraries. (LAPL has six copies.) The ebook of SNAKE is available at Amazon and other ebook outlets.
People have long been intrigued by snakes, and today they are one of the most popular attractions at any zoo. But in the wild, some species are now endangered-because the snakes are hunted for sport or profit, or because their habitats are being destroyed. Filled with forty intriguing photographs, Snake is a delightful first look at these slithery, scaly, limbless reptiles.
