Center for Wildlife Ambassador Series
Volume II: The Story of Edna 
Meet Edna, a Hemlock-eating North American albino porcupine who works at the Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick, Maine. Children of all ages will love reading Edna's story while they learn about the habits and habitats of the North American porcupine. Edna's touching story is told with humor and compassion through the words and illustrations of the students in the York, Maine schools. The story includes fascinating facts about North American porcupines, some tips for approaching and rescuing animals in the wild, and Edna's own story of her separation from her mother and the new friends she makes at the Center for Wildlife - and in classrooms all across the United States. The book closes with fascinating porcupine facts and with a reflection of what wildlife and humans can learn from each other.

CSImaginings- Original Inkwork by Catherine Smith
About the Artist..
Catherine first began painting and drawing wildlife in high school. Since graduating with her BFA in illustration from RISD in 2004, Catherine has returned to wildlife painting. However, upon this return to a wildlife subject matter she chosen not to focus on the traditional, subject in environment setup, but to capture the essence and character of the subject. With every painting, her goal is to invoke a sense whimsy, fun and charm. There is nothing more rewarding than the smile on a viewer’s face.
Catherine was recently inspired by our work and contacted us about a tour and possible partnership. We were immediately drawn to her artwork, and she came up to meet our beautiful ambassadors and see our work. The result of her visit is the wonderful inkwork listed below (she absolutely captured "Freyja" our peregrine falcon's sweet eyes and facial expression!). Catherine is generously donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of each image listed. To learn more about Catherine or to visit her website click here.
