Secrets of the Oak Woodlands was published in 2014, and has had multiple printings.  It is a very popular field guide and reference to learn more about the many creatures, plants and trees that grow in the oak woodland area. I did over 35 watercolor and pen and ink illustrations for the book, and KateMarianchild combined her years of personal observation with extensive research.  Together, we created this very popular book over a two year period. Above are two illustrations from the book: The California Ground Squirrel and the Western Screech Owl. The cover features a fledging Acorn Woodpecker. I strove for accuracy in the illustrations, while showing the character of the creatures and their habitats. It is published by Heyday Books and can be ordered at heydaybooks.com or by calling (510)549-3564 ext. 304.  Or order from a bookseller online.
