I wonder if, like me, Jill Esbaum, once fell in love with Gene Stratton-Porter’s writing. Her new title, BIRD GIRL: GENE STRATTON-PORTER SHARES HER LOVE OF NATURE WITH THE WORLD. Perhaps it was Stratton-Porter’s love of birds and nature for Esbaum’s writing about this made me find new admiration. So many talents, such changes in the world. So grateful for Esbaum’s engaging writing and obvious research in helping me as well as children appreciate her. Rebecca Gibbon’s vibrant illustrations capture Gene’s passion and zest as they inspire burgeoning naturalists. You can find more information about this book at the purchase link below.
