"""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 ""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 ""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 ""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 ""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. Covering everything from dinosaurs to climate change, this guide will get you (and your kids) started on your own adventures and inspire you to learn more.""--Nicola Jones, science journalist and author, Saving the Spotted Owl"
