Dorothy Hinshaw Patent will be on hand to talk of her adventures from Alaska to Ecuador and China to France at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24 at the Kailua-Kona Public Library.

Dorothy has been writing nonfiction books for children for 35 years.  Her passion for personal experience about her subject matter has led her far and wide as she investigates everything from polar bears to the fauna of the Galapagos Islands and from the terra cotta warriors of China’s first emperor to the fabulous prehistoric paintings of the Lascaux cave in France.

Dorothy will accompany her talk with a slide show illustrating her adventures.
