Amidst a stunning and remote landscape of mountains and desert, THE PUPFISH HERO is the true story of a quick-thinking, young scientist, Edwin "Phil" Pister, who saved an entire species of fish using two five-gallon buckets! Read along to learn about the Owens pupfish, their brush with extinction, their desert oasis, and what it takes to be a fishery biologist.

Elaine Miller Bond is the author of THE PUPFISH HERO, a picture book biography of courageous and compassionate biologist, Edwin "Phil" Pister. She is the author and photographer of WILD COLORS OF THE WEST, RUNNING WILD, and LIVING WILD, fun kids' board books that celebrate wildlife and wild places. She photographed THE UTAH PRAIRIE DOG, a scientific book by Dr. Theodore Manno. Her photographs have appeared on Discovery Channel Canada and publishing credits include Science, BBC Earth News, The American Naturalist, Scholastic (My Big World with Clifford), and Bay Nature Magazine. She got her start as Senior Science Writer for the University of California Natural Reserve System. Bond grew up far from pupfish, near Berkeley, California, and recently, moved to wildly inspiring Bellingham, Washington, where five Pacific salmon species have been documented running through town.
