As the volunteer author and illustrator, I couldn't have received a more wonderful gift for my birthday (the 13th) as I read the announcement this morning, in Operation Migration's field journal. More than two years in the making, the book inspires young imaginations with the fascinating story of Whooping crane ultralight-led migration and entices children to get out in nature, observe and find out what their own imaginations have to offer.
Teachers may click the field journal link to order complimentary books for their classroom ($10 shipping fee). Shipping begins Nov 1st. Individuals may purchase the activity book for $3.00 on the merchandise page (not including shipping), availability beginning Nov. 1st.Find out all the details by visiting Operation Migration's field journal , Oct 12th (scroll down to the first entry on that date).
How cool....and Happy Birthday to you!!! You must be on Cloud Nine! You're really making a difference in the bird world. I hope your activity book inspires lots and lots of little minds, and they go on to become conservationists. Very cool..... I'm going to pass the link on to a few of my friends who are teachers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news on the childrens activity book. It will be great if it helps to entice children outside and enjoying nature. I would love the see the Whooping Crane in person.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday gift! It is so rewarding when a project like that makes it, not only because of the work dedicated people put into it, but because of the positive impact it will have. I'm not surprised, but the illustrations look beautiful :)
