About the Author :
Amy Huntington is an author, illustrator, and recipient of the 2017 Institute for Child Success Focus Fellowship. She lives in Vermon with her husband, two cats, twenty hens, one rooster, one tilapia, and two sheep.

Nancy Lemon has always loved animals. In middle school she volunteered at a vet's office, which was also home to a twenty-five pound tabby cat named Buddy. He was the fattest cat she had (and has) ever seen. Nancy lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, two imaginative children, and their goofy dog.

Review :
"Readers with a solid introductory grasp of earth science concepts, the water cycle, and basic geological features will build a deeper understanding of the effects that climate patterns, water, and time have on this grand phenomenon in nature. Highly recommended for the curious upper elementary reader interested in earth science or paired with a geology unit that explores mountain formation and geological terms."?-School Library Journal "Under the breezy tutelage and encouragement of an unseen narrator, a young girl creates a splendidly sculpted mountain, alive with flora and fauna and equally well-suited for hiking or for quiet contemplation. . . Solid organization, fascinating backmatter, and Huntington's running commentary on the mechanics of earth science make this a perfect fit for curricular use, and the understated humor will appeal to middle graders who enjoy, and perhaps even need, memorable visuals to complement informational text."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Using a friendly but informative second-person voice, the humorous narrator treats readers as full participants in the geologic process, complete with explanations as needed. . . . Lemon's sketch-like illustrations match the engaging tone. . . . [How to Make a Mountain is] earth science charmingly disguised as a how-to manual."-Booklist "A useful, engaging, and clearly delineated distillation of a complex geological process."-Kirkus Reviews
