My Steve

My Steve by Terri Irwin. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780731813339.

Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, Aussie larrikin, the man who brought wildlife to the world-this is how we saw him. In My Steve, Terri Irwin portrays her husband as he really was-a devoted family man, a fervently dedicated environmentalist, a modest bloke who spoke to millions on behalf of those who could not speak for themselves. For Terri and their children Bindi and Robert, the world stopped the day Steve was tragically killed. Millions of people shared their pain as they struggled to accept that this larger-than-life character was gone from their lives. But Steves legacy remains, and his work goes on as a new generation of the Irwin family rises to the challenge. My Steve is an uplifting, humorous and heart-breaking account of Terris relationship with Steve, the work they carried out together, and their unswerving commitment to wildlife conservation. Wrestling crocodiles in north Queensland one day, attending the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles the next, theirs was a life of contrast and excitement. But it was also one filled with warmth and compassion, and a deep respect for the beauty and riches of our natural environment. My Steve is a non-stop adventure, a love story, and a fitting and inspiring tribute to a man adored by everyone whose life he touched.
