Tune in this Tuesday, June 17, at 8:30 am to KDKA 1020 radio for an Larry Richard interview with Gavin!
Ten year old research fellow Gavin Phillips will be on hand Saturday, June 28, at the National Aviary signing copies of Saving a Galapagos Penguin Family.
Visitors can come just for the book signing at the Rose Garden tent from 12:00 to 2:00. The tent is located off the Aviary’s main parking lot, so you park in their main parking lot or park on the street and walk around to the back of the Aviary. Consider combining the visit with admission to the Aviary (and book a “Penguin Encounter” on the same day!).

Saving a Galapagos Penguin Family
You are invited to enjoy this wonderful short story about two boys who bravely work to rescue a family of Galapagos Penguins.
In 1982, El Nino killed 70 percent of the Galapagos penguin population putting them on the Endangered Species List. The penguins are dying out due to pollution, animals brought to the island by humans, natural predators, fishing, and lack of safe nesting areas. Gavin wrote this book to raise money to help in the conservation efforts to protect penguins and to educate people about the Galapagos Penguins. Profits from the sales of this book benefit the National Aviary.
