Prolific award-winning Missoula writer Sneed B. Collard III brings environmental science and climate change to young people ages 10 to 16 with this look at how the changing climate in Montana and the region affects the lives of snowshoe hares. Grounding his story in the work of UM wildlife biologist L. Scott Mills, Collard explains that early snow melt catches hares still clad in seasonal white against a brown background. Will they adapt with time?
