About The Emerys:

Peter Emery has spent over seven decades roaming the woods, fields, and waters of Maine. He and his wife, Deborah, have lived on an old farm in beautiful Wayne, Maine, for almost forty years. His countless walks in the forest and fields behind his home have revealed to him a variety of remarkable plants and animals. After graduating from Colby College, Peter taught math and science in high school and college in both Massachusetts and Maine for forty-five years. His deep love for the State of Maine, with its magnificent environment of ocean, lakes, mountains, fields, and forests, inspired the creation of this book.

Deborah Emery and her husband, Peter, collaborated on creating The Wildlife Tree. She has taught elementary school in both Massachusetts and Maine. Her outstanding educational leadership in administration in Maine resulted in the honor of her being named “National Distinguished Principal of the Year.” She too has walked innumerable miles on the trails in the woods behind their home in Wayne. She may have retired, but her desire to continue to educate has been captured in her beautiful wildlife watercolors. Deborah has created games called Maine Animal Quest and Maine Ocean Quest to help children learn about the animals of Maine.
