A cheeky and colorful debut picture book about a father-daughter birding adventureillustrated by Coretta Scott King Honoree Raissa Figueroa.

Can you spot two early birds EARbirding on a father-daughter nature walk?

With each chirp and cheep, Honeybird ticks off a color on her birding adventure list:

Yellow. Tick!

Green. Tick!

But wheres Blue? Honeybird has never seen Blue. Not ever!

With her budding outdoor skills, a bit of patience, and encouragement from Pop, today could finally be the day.

Taunya English is a naturalist in Maryland, where she leads outings that celebrate connections between the land and culture. Like Honeybird, Taunya loves birding by ear. The sounds from her nature adventures show up in her stories, and every story is an invitation to come out and play. Follow Taunyas writing at taunyaenglish.substack.com.
