Download or read book Lakisha S World written by Michael McWade and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to LaKishas World. The idea behind this book is to teach young children a little something about the things they see around them every day - with this version being about birds.* The story begins with LaKisha looking out the window of her room, and subsequently asks her mom about the birds she sees in her yard. As a result, she will learn their names and a little bit about them - which will, hopefully, impress her friends at a later date. Through the developing story line, I hope to instill in a childs young mind, a sense of the acceptance of others and the power of friendship. *I learned a lot about birds through two distinct vehicles. The first was spending a lot of unemployed afternoons in my own backyard watching the various birds in my trees. I made it a point to look up each one I found to discover more about them. The second was through my life-long friends Tom & Laurel, who gave tours at the Cincinnati Zoo. They could tell you more about any species than what is written on those description placards.

Book excerpt: If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in bird nests, or what happens after a fledgling leaves the nest, come along on Julie’s sensitive exploration of often-uncharted ornithological ground. This beautiful book is as much an art book as it is a natural history, something readers have come to expect from Julie Zickefoose. More than 400 watercolor paintings show the breathtakingly swift development of seventeen different species of wild birds. Sixteen of those species nest on Julie's wildlife sanctuary, so she knows the birds intimately, and writes about them with authority. To create the bulk of this extraordinary work, Julie would borrow a wild nestling, draw it, then return it to its nest every day until it fledged. Some were orphans she raised by hand, giving the ultimate insider’s glimpse into their lives. In sparkling prose, Julie shares a lifetime of insight about bird breeding biology, growth, and cognition. As an artist and wildlife rehabilitator, Julie possesses a unique skill set that includes sketching and painting rapidly from life as well as handling delicate hatchlings. She is uniquely positioned to create such an opus, and in fact, nothing like it has ever been attempted. Julie has many fans, and she will gain many more with this unparalleled work.
