Description of Pictures: Denise Fleming, Maria Gianferrari
Children's
Wildlife
These picture books tell stories of birds. A robin's animal friends help build her nest in this book of collages. In the other, follow a father red-tailed hawk in his hunt to feed his family in a suburban neighborhood.
Denise Fleming
Denise Fleming is the award-winning author and illustrator of many well known children’s books including “In the Tall, Tall Grass,” “Lunch,” “Barnyard Banter” and “In the Small, Small Pond,” which received a Caldecott Honor. Her most recent book is “This is the Nest that Robin Built.”
Denise’s love of language is apparent in her writing which combines rhythm, rhyme and lots of verbs. The colorful art she creates for her books involves mixing and dying cotton fiber for her unique pulp painting technique, or using various printmaking techniques combined with collage.
Maria Gianferrari
Maria Gianferrari is a self-proclaimed “bird nerd,” whose favorite pastime is searching for perching red-tailed hawks while driving down the highway. When she’s not driving, she loves watching birdcams. Her favorite feathered stars are Cornell Hawk, Big Red and her late mate, Ezra, who together raised 15 chicks since they began nesting in 2012. Maria is the author of “Hello Goodbye Dog” and “Coyote Moon,” both published by Roaring Brook Press, as well as the Penny & Jelly books and “Officer Katz & Houndini.” She lives in Leesburg, Va., with her scientist husband, artist daughter, and rescue dog, Becca.
