ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Review Quotes:
"For many of us, birds are the entry point to developing a deeper bond with nature, but the way is often barred by the dull, clinical language of traditional guides. This book has a songbird's flitty buoyancy...Every page is a delight."-- Emily Laber-Warren, science journalist and author, A Walk in the Woods: Into the Field Guide

Review Quotes:
"The perfect family guide: an enticing entry point for new birders and a helpful reference for those with experience. The inviting graphics and photos, the clear and lively descriptions, and the fascinating facts sprinkled throughout make this a book to treasure. My family and I won't be going on a hike without it!"-- Clara Moskowitz, senior editor, Scientific American

Review Quotes:
"Daisy opens a window onto the beautiful, diverse birds of North America. She expertly encourages young people, their families, and their friends to look and learn about what they're seeing, nurturing their curiosity, and helping them form new connections with nature. This book will be magic in the hands of inquisitive kids."-- Dr. Helen Scales, author, What a Shell Can Tell and Return of the Wild

Review Quotes:
"As a young person learning about the natural world, I wish I had had a book like this to help me easily learn about birds around me."-- Dr. Laurie Goodrich, Director of Conservation Science, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary

Review Quotes:
"This fun-filled, fact-filled romp through the iconic birds of North America is infused with Daisy's love for all people and the natural world.

Her enthusiasm for birds has led her to follow Swallows in Alaska and Argentina, count Kestrels in Pennsylvania, boat out to penguin and puffin colonies, and seek Dickcissels with physicists on the Illinois prairie. She writes for newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times for Kids and Scientific American.
