Story Behind The Book
My life's work has always centered on helping others. As a licensed therapist and the wife of a Methodist minister, I found myself every day around children either at work, home or church. Many children in today’s fast world are hurting for quality time and closer relationships with positive adults. The best way I’ve found that parents can provide this for their children is to plan and take the time to be with their children and enjoy activities together. This provides time not only for hobbies or whatever activity but also for the much needed conversations to take place between parent and child that helps to form closer, trusting relationships. This goes a long way in getting through the teen years for both of them. As we both are nearing retirement age, we hope to continue helping through writing in one form or another. I decided to use the children’s book genre to share with the children while encouraging parent participation as well.

The book is wonderfully written with younger children in mind perhaps pre-school through elementary school. I think this book would make an excellent addition to elementary school science curriculums, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troop activities, 4-H and Cloverbud group activities, or for that special child who loves nature.”<br /><br /><br />By K. Bird<br /> <br /><br /><br />“The book is written in a narrative nonfiction format that makes it quite readable.”<br /><br /><br />By Novelist, Author of <strong>Writing Children’s Books for Dummies</strong><br /><br /><br /> <br />“At the stories heart is a message of acceptance. By accepting each other the way we are, not in spite of our differences but with them, the world can be a more peaceful place. Who wouldn’t want to impact both the knowledge of Nature as well as these heartfelt sentiments to the next generation?”<br /><br /><br />By G. Reba<br /><br /><br /> <br />“I would recommend it to bird watchers anywhere who hope to influence their children to get a feel for birding.”<br /><br /><br />By P.A. Whittington, Author of <strong>What a Hullabaloo!</strong><br /> <br /><br /><br />“What a great book for any child! “<strong>Friends in the Meadow-Birds</strong>” has beautiful photos of birds. This book is bound to start any child to a life-long hobby of birding.”<br /><br /><br />By Barbara J. Smith, Author of A <strong>Surprise for Grandmother Rabbit<br /></strong><br /><br /> <br />“I recommend this book to parents, teachers or leaders of organizations interested in exposing kids of any age to the wonderful hobby of birding. Thank you Peggy, for putting together such a sweet and educational book for kids.”<br /><br /><br />By Lisa Maddock, Author of A <strong>Tale of Two Guinea Pigs and The Bridezilla Who Stole Christmas-A Teddy & Pip Story</strong>.<br /><br /><br /><p></p>
