Curtis Manley

Curtis Manley was a volcanologist in a previous life—and “Chasing Eruptions” is about two famous French volcanologists who traveled the world for twenty years filming erupting volcanoes. Curtis also writes fiction and nonfiction picture books, and his interests range from nature, science, and technology to art, haiku, and poetry. His other books include “Grace Builds an Almost-Perfect Dog”, “Climbing the Volcano: A Journey in Haiku”, “The Rescuer of Tiny Creatures”, “Just Right: Searching for the Goldilocks Planet”, “The Crane Girl”, and “Shawn Loves Sharks”. Curtis grew up in Pennsylvania but now lives east of Seattle with his wife.
