I had the pleasure of attending the author talk and shoeing of the film at ALA in January 2017. I was impressed by the adaptation of the book. I read the book when it first came out and it was a favorite that year. Have you done much reasearch into the recovery of the zoo and the family after the war? It can't have been easy.
