Susie Eszterhas is one of my most recommended authors for middle grade readers who like nonfiction about wildlife.

As a reader will quickly note, the highlight of this book is its gorgeous photography. It is wonderful to see an intimate portrayal of wildlife we would only typically encounter in a zoo setting and builds a deeper appreciation for the natural world. There were lots of informative facts in this book that I think would be fascinating to kids an adults alike. Eszterhas did an excellent job of balancing the factual without making the content dry. This is perfect for a nature lover to read with their kids or as adds great content to a library's non-fiction collection. Wildlife books tend to do better than most with checkouts and this would be no exception.
I would 100% read more by this author! Respect for her for taking the time to go and obtain these photos.

Suzi Eszterhas has done it again. The photographs are amazing and cute. Leopards and cubs, what could be cuter?

The photographs are just wonderful, as in all of Eszterhas' books. I love following her work, and this book is no exception. Kids will learn about leopards and be able to see them in the photos alongside the text. I highly recommend this and any other book by Suzi Eszterhas, one of my favorite wildlife photographers.

These are wild animals, not living in a zoo. Eszterhas is one of those photographers who actually goes out into the wild to obtain the photos, which makes them that more valuable.

A goal of mine, inspired by the amazing Melissa Stewart, is to read more children’s nonfiction and A Leopard Diary was a great choice! Suzi Eszterhas has filled this book with incredible photographs along with her text. Readers will appreciate her honesty - sometimes she didn’t find what she was looking for and had to wait - along with the kind of details you can’t find anywhere else. There is a sense of drama throughout, just as if you were on the safari with her. This would be an excellent addition to any library! Thank you to Netgalley and Owl Kids Books for the opportunity to read the eARC.

Suzi Eszterhas takes readers with her and her guide Kam into the African bush to photograph a Leopard mom as she raises two cubs from little fluff balls to independent adults.

Suzi Eszterhas is not only a phenomenal photographer but also a splendid writer. She knows how to both educate and entertain child audiences with engaging and informative text that helps readers grow in their understanding of leopards and also wildlife photography and life in the African bush. Another winning nonfiction book for kids from Eszterhas!

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
