Welcome!
Hi, I'm Derick... thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to look around. You can find out some fun facts about me, read about my books, or learn about my educational initiatives. Check out the below photos and link to the associated pages to see how they are related. I'm a passionate nature-lover, so it's probably no big surprise that each photo contains four-legged, two-legged, or no-legged creatures.
