Counting Birds: The Idea That Helped Save Our Feathered Friends by Rebecca Guay, Clover Robin

librarianryan's review

5.0

AHHHHHH. This is written by Jane Yolen’s daughter. As in the writer of Owl Moon’s daughter. It’s about Frank Chapman and his quest to stop Christmas bird hunts, and bring about Christmas Bird Counts. The tradition continues today through the Audubon Society. The author Heidi has been involved since she was a child. This book is part story about Frank Chapman, and part non-fiction about how any reader can get involved, how the author got involved, and why these annual counts matter. The illustrations are great, and overall, I love this book. Even if I didn’t know it was connected to Owl Moon, I would still love it.
