Dr. Rick LeCouteur, a retired veterinary neurosurgeon, discusses his transition to writing children's books aimed at educating young readers about wildlife and the environment. Inspired by his grandchildren's misconceptions about animals, he has written five books. His latest book, "Nasty Names are Hurtful," addresses name-calling towards the Australian White Ibis. Dr. LeCouteur emphasizes the importance of authentic representation in children's literature to foster a love for nature and conservation. He also highlights the balance between traditional and holistic veterinary approaches, drawing parallels to his educational philosophy. Listen in as Dr. Judy and Dr. Rick share their mutual admiration of animals and educating children the right way.
