Fly With Me: National Geographic Book of Birds

This is the second book that my three children and I have done for National Geographic, the first being ANIMAL STORIES.

NG asked us to do the first book, we pitched the second. I made a rough outline and once NG gave us a contract for the book, we divided up who would do which sections. Heidi and I did the last passes on both the book and the page proofs, though I have to admit Heidi did most of that work. The book is basically nonfiction about birds (perfect for a family of birdwatchers), but is also full of poetry, stories, history, curious facts, and joy.

Also from us and National Geographic: Animal Stories
