Sy Montgomery
To research her books, films, and articles, Sy Montgomery has been chased by a silverback gorilla, embraced by a Giant Pacific Octopus, and undressed by an orangutan. But she is perhaps best known for her 14-year love affair with Christopher Hogwood, a runt piglet who grew to a 750-pound great Buddha master. Montgomery is an American naturalist, author, and scriptwriter who writes for both children and adults. Learn more at symontgomery.com.
