Elizabeth U Stanley

Elizabeth Upson Stanley lives in Connecticut. She holds bachelor and master of science degrees in human services from New Hampshire College, with concentrations in early childhood education and community counseling psychology respectively. She founded and, for thirty years, was director and teacher of Storybook Barn School, a nursery school for three- to five-year-old children. Storybook Barn was the lab school for the child development program at Briarwood College, which she developed and then served as program director and associate professor of for twenty-four years. Elizabeth has had a lifelong interest in nature study and the preservation of the natural environment with its wild creatures and the habitats they need to survive. Over time, she has taught numerous nature-study classes and provided nature day camps for children. Through her students she has strived to encourage an appreciation of nature and an understanding that all living things are interrelated. She believes that nature study with young children is important as they are the ones who will be future stewards of the environment and maintaining a balance of nature. Rami’s story supports preservation of wildlife and conservation of habitat by respecting the wolf and its role in the wilderness. Elizabeth’s sixteen years of experiences with the founders of the Mission: Wolf sanctuary and the Ambassador Wolves are the inspiration for her story about the wolf Rami. It is a true story of a wolf that, being born and spending her whole life on the refuge, devoted her life to teaching people about wolves and their value to the ecosystem. It is told from Rami’s perspective, her thoughts, and her dreams.
