Hank Thornhill

Hank Thornhill is a husband, soon-to-be father, and author of the Friends of the Great Outdoors. With over a decade of writing creative briefs and visionary presentations, Hank hopes his optimistic voice shines through in his latest book, which aims to inspire us all to get outside— to look, listen and explore the natural world with curiosity.

Parents and caregivers be warned, Kirkus Media writes: “Thornhill delivers an inspiring story that may cause youngsters to ask their caregivers to hurry up and book an outdoor camping trip.”

As a native to Virginia, Hank has extensive experience exploring the deciduous

forest and volunteers as a Tree Steward to help maintain his hometown’s urban canopy.

Hank would love to write more books and take the Friends of the Great Outdoors to habitats and ecosystems across the globe! He just has to come back inside first.
