Author Information

Sarah Bergs grew up on the wild edge of South Africa's Kruger National Park, where elephants truly wandered through her backyard, her pet mongoose snuggled up in her pocket, and daily life was filled with the sights and sounds of the African bush. With a dad who worked as a game ranger and home-schooled by mom between game drives, her childhood was anything but ordinary-and it sparked a lifelong love for nature and wildlife. But she didn't just see nature as beautiful-she saw it as a teacher, a healer, and a home. That love grew into a mission.Her first children's book Chris the Crocodile and the Disappearing Swamp is a delightful first in a series of stories to help youth understand the joys and challenges that are faced by wildlife. Helping to imagine the world they're living in, the consequences of our actions and the importance of respecting and protecting it.Today, Sarah is the founder of Nourish Eco Village, a nonprofit that works to reduce poverty, empower youth, and protect the environment through education and creativity. The Nourish Educational Series of books was born from the desire to share that dream.
