Alice and the Bird Lady
written and illustrated by Jane Grant Tentas 2002
Since Spring is around the corner we've been waking up to birdsongs and it's lovely! There's only a couple birds I can identify by their sounds, but they all feel like familiar voices to me. This little story was inspired by living on Block Island (off the coast of Rhode Island) and the real life character of Elizabeth Dickens who collected birds and taught the local children about them. Her naturalist inspiration lives on through Tentas pictures and story.
