Word from the Smokies: New book teaches youths about need for wildlife crossings Frances Figart, Word from the Smokies © Courtesy of Great Smoky Mountains Association A Search for Safe Passage” by Frances Figart is published by Great Smoky Mountains Association. It can be purchased in park bookstores and at smokiesinformation.org. When I started working at Great Smoky Mountains Association in 2017, I figured I would write a book at some point in my tenure. But I never dreamed I would become the author of a children’s book. The impetus for it goes back to my own childhood, which was idyllic. I grew up in Eastern Kentucky at a summer camp for which my parents acted as overseers. I spent summer days swimming, canoeing, hiking, and horseback riding, immersing myself in a landscape of Appalachian wildlife. The only sadness I recall was seeing animals hit and killed on roads.
