“Have you ever found a bird’s feather? Let’s go look for one”——the last lines from Birding For Children by Art Minton, a wonderfully engaging book for young bird watchers. Filled with facts that will delight as well as inform, it is also a virtual feast for the eyes. The paintings by multi-talented Patrick Grogan bring to life common birds seen at our feeders most days. This book will delight both children and adults as it offers an introduction to the natural world found right in our own back yards. Let’s go birding!

From the beginning of time Snow Leopard has sung the stars to life, the sun to rise and the moon to wax and wane. She weaves a song to keep her hidden valley safe from the world of men as she sings, a child down in the valley beneath dreams her song.

In the book The Snow Leopard, Jackie Morris tells an amazing story of magic, adventure and friendship. Readers are able to discover a world of beauty and at the same time, learn about becoming one with nature and her creatures. Marked by excitement and hope, this book offers children (and adults too!) the chance to escape the everyday normalities of life and venture into a place of hope and dreams.

And as if the story was not enough the illustrations are mesmerizing!
