Wetland birds are so very colorful and unique. A Piping Plover is very small, quite cute and downright adorable. The Sandhill Crane towers over most other birds and the Anhinga looks ferocious with that long pointed beak. The birds found in wetlands remind us of the dinosaurs that roamed the earth many thousands of years ago. Gertie's Birdies: Wings in the Wetland brings these birds up close to admire and educate. The curious, young and old alike, will find something fascinating on each page. "I never saw that" or "I didn't know that" will be repeated often by readers. Each page contains a stunning image of the bird accompanied by child centered verse for easy reading and comprehension. Ultimately, this book will inspire conservation understanding and efforts.
