Stella Found a Feather: A Child's First Field Guide to Bird Watching
"Papa... whose feather is this?"
When young Stella finds a mysterious feather, she sets off on a quest to discover which bird lost it-meeting colorful backyard birds and gathering clues along the way. Part mystery, part adventure, and part child's first field guide to bird watching, Stella Found a Feather introduces young readers to the fascinating world of birds in a way that is fun, engaging, and memorable.
Unlike many field guides written for children, Stella Found a Feather isn't a dry collection of facts and species descriptions. It's an engaging story that naturally weaves bird identification into Stella's search for the feather's owner. Along the way, young readers learn how to recognize common North American birds by their feathers, colors, personalities, sounds, and behavior-often without even realizing they're learning.
Written by lifelong birder and Emmy-nominated television writer/producer Brad Johnson, the book is designed to spark curiosity, encourage outdoor exploration, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for birds and nature.
The reaction from the birding community has been terrific.
"Stella Found a Feather is a terrific introduction to the joy to be discovered in watching and learning about birds. The wonderful illustrations and informative text will engage young readers and hopefully lead them into a lifetime of birding and an appreciation of nature. Highly recommended."
- Wayne Klockner, Executive Director, American Birding Association
Perfect for children ages 3-8, parents, grandparents, teachers, bird lovers, classrooms, nature centers, and anyone hoping to help the next generation discover the joy of bird watching.
