Sy is delighted to hear from Mel Zukernic, founder of the “Animal Love Library” – Fauna Querida – in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that the Spanish translation of How to be a Good Creature is included in her library. Here’s Mel holding the book. You can find out more about the Animal Love Library on Instagram: www.instagram.com/faunaquerida (which means dear fauna).
Sy will be on Alan Alda’s podcast, Clear and Vivid. Here’s a preview at about 16:20 until 27:26, after Tom Hanks and Paul McCartney. Alan Alda has this to say about Sy: “She’s wonderful. She has that ability to communicate with animals just by standing there and looking at them, and they want to come over to her.”

Sy enjoyed talking with Maria Milito, an advocate for animal rights who can be heard daily on Q104.3 New York’s midday show. Now she has her own podcast, Maria’s Mutts & Stuff. Sy provided the “stuff,” talking about octos, pink dolphins, man eating tigers and man-eating tigers. That’s a lot of cool “stuff.” Listen here.
