The Bluebird Effect by Julie Zickefoose
Advance praise for The Bluebird EffectIt is hard to describe all the things that are beautiful about this book. It s beautifully conceived, beautifully written, and beautifully illustrated. Zickefoose s knowledge of birds is profound, her observations of them are fascinating, and her accounts of them are trustworthy. To be informed and delighted at the same time is a rare experience, thus The Bluebird Effect is the perfect Christmas present, thank you present, or hostess present. I m going to buy copies to lend to people because sometimes people don t give them back, and I want always to have one. It is one of the most informative and charming books I ve read in years. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs
Julie Zickefoose has a giant heart and an eye and ear perfectly tuned to the world of birds, especially those that are broken or lost. Whether she s cooking up an insect omelet for a nestful of orphaned chimney swifts or allowing a curious hummingbird to slip its tongue into her nose, Julie s love for birds knows no bounds. Her paintings and sketches are magical, and her book is sheer delight. Melissa Block, host of NPR's All Things Considered
Julie Z. is one in a million, and her paintings and anything she writes about birds are to be cherished and savored. Jane Alexander, actress, writer, and birder
