Editorial Reviews

"Marnie Crowell has given us a delightful tale about a city girl’s adventures in a Maine fishing village. She finds direction and guidance through a mysterious neighbor’s wisdom and love of nature. A must-read for outdoor lovers of any age and those who may not often get to experience nature directly.” —Dr. Doug Tallamy, Homegrown National Park, entomologist, author of Nature’s Best Hope

“What fun to see how Marnie wove our great blue heron tracking data into an adventure story! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to share this project with others and hope it inspires wonder in all who encounter these magnificent birds in their travels along coastal Maine and beyond.” —Danielle D’Auria, Waterbird Specialist, Maine Dept. Inland Fisheries & Wildlife
