For a half-hour National Geographic segment, she scripted and appeared in Spell of the Tiger, based on her book of the same title. Also for National Geographic, she developed and scripted Mother Bear Man based on the work of Ben Kilham, who raises and releases orphaned American black bears, which won a Chris Award. [3]Author Vicki Croke asked Sy what she has learned, not just about an animal’s natural history, but lessons about life. Sy answered: “How to be a good creature. How do you be compassionate?… I think that animals teach compassion better than anything else and compassion doesn’t necessarily just mean a little mouse with a sore foot and you try to fix it. It means getting yourself inside the mind and heart of someone else. Seeing someone’s soul, looking for their truth. Animals teach you all of that and that’s how you get compassion and heart.” [4]Personal lifeMontgomery was born on February 7, 1958, in Frankfurt, Germany.[5] She grew up in Westfield, New Jersey and is a 1975 graduate of Westfield High School and a 1979 graduate of Syracuse University, a triple major with dual degrees in magazine journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and in French language and literature and in psychology from the College of Arts and Sciences. She has been awarded two honorary doctorate degrees: an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Keene State College in 2004 and an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Franklin Pierce University and Southern New Hampshire University in 2011.[6] She lives in Hancock, New Hampshire, with her husband, the writer Howard Mansfield.[7] Awards and honors

Praise“Equal parts poet and scientist.” —The New York Times [14]“Part Indiana Jones and part Emily Dickinson.” —The Boston Globe [15]“Sy Montgomery has insight into the Others that every nature writer on this continent envies. I am no exception. Clear, emotionally telling and always right to the point, her accounts of the other forms of life are without peer.” —Farley Mowat, author of Never Cry Wolf [16]“Few writers—or human beings—fuse intelligence and heart as completely as Sy Montgomery.” —Beth Kephart, author of Seeing Past Z, and Still Love in Strange Places [17]“Montgomery gives herself over so wholeheartedly to animals, and other humans who share her passion for creatures both rare and ubiquitous, that her nature chronicles are uniquely radiant.” —American Library Association’s Booklist [18]“The only shaman that I know of, and certainly the only one I know personally. Sy, as shamans do, roves the earth relentlessly: there have been sightings of her from the Caribbean to Sunderbans (a non-mythical place, which hovers somewhere between India and Bangladesh, and where non-mythical tigers regularly hunt non-mythical humans) with lengthy touch-downs also in Cambodia, the Amazon, Tahiti, New Guinea, Mongolia, and Manitoba. On her journeys she communes at length with birds, mammals, and sea creatures — surreal ones such as pink dolphins, ground-dwelling Kakapo parrots, golden moon bears, giant tarantulas, white sharks, tree kangaroos, snow leopards, and the giant Cassowary bird, and … octopuses (not octopii), but she is equally tight with domestic animals such as pigs, chickens, and cockatoos.” —Phil Pochoda, retired publishing veteran (Simon & Schuster, Prentice Hall Press, Pantheon Books, University of Michigan Press, and the University Press of New England) [19]References1. ^http://www.chelseagreen.com/authors/sy_montgomery/ 2. ^http://www.papertigers.org/interviews/archived_interviews/montgomery.html 3. ^http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/data/2002/03/01/html/ft_20020301.5.html 4. ^http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2014/09/09/animal-emotions-croke 5. ^http://www.chelseagreen.com/authors/sy_montgomery/ 6. ^http://symontgomery.com/?page_id=29 7. ^http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/13364.Sy_Montgomery 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.aaas.org/news/2016-aaassubaru-sbf-prizes-honor-science-books-about-animals-field-your-backyard-or-back|title=2016 AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prizes Honor Science Books About Animals: In the Field, In Your Backyard, or Back From Extinction|website=American Association for the Advancement of Science|language=en|access-date=2019-01-15}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=2015 National Book Awards|url=https://www.nationalbook.org/awards-prizes/national-book-awards-2015#.Vk08i4RH0UE|website=National Book Foundation|accessdate=19 November 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Alter|first1=Alexandra|title=Ta-Nehisi Coates Wins National Book Award|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/19/us/ta-nehisi-coates-wins-national-book-award.html|accessdate=19 November 2015|work=The New York Times|date=19 November 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.childrensbookguild.org/nonfiction-award/past-winners |title=Nonfiction Award - Previous Winners |work=childrensbookguild.org |author= |date= |accessdate=November 19, 2015}} 12. ^http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/13364.Sy_Montgomery 13. ^http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/13364.Sy_Montgomery 14. ^http://symontgomery.com/about-sy/ 15. ^http://symontgomery.com/about-sy/ 16. ^http://symontgomery.com/about-sy/ 17. ^http://symontgomery.com/the-good-good-pig-reviews/ 18. ^http://symontgomery.com/birdology-reviews/ 19. ^http://symontgomery.com/news/ External links
