What do you get when you combine a retired teacher who is passionate about nature, twelve of his artistically-talented former students and a dozen unique and fascinating water-loving birds? “The Birds That Wish That They Were Fish” - a children’s picture book for all ages.

The art is as wonderful and diverse as the birds themselves and is combined with lyrical rhymes that describe physical adaptations and behaviors of twelve birds that must find their food in watery environments. There is much for young and old alike to discover and learn in this unique and beautiful book.
