Early Readers Are Saying…

"Who Are You, Cat-Bird?" book cover, light coral-gold background with Griffie the cat-bird in front of globe behind whicn two children stand with their hands resting on the globe.

Kids will love Griffie! He has a timely  message that calls us to action! I like that he’s proud of being different. Kids can relate to the story’s characters as they learn how to care for the Earth. The questions and activities at the end provide strong support for discussion.”
–Kelli Mocny, MA, Literacy Teacher

“Turning Earth stewardship into a fun adventure makes Griffie the perfect eco hero for preschoolers and the primary grades.”
—Judy Cullins, teacher, author, mom

“With Griffie’s help, creating a greener World can be lots of fun for you and me and everyone!”
Dave Finnigan, Author, Green Actioneers Family Action Guide

“Griffie, a unique and delightful mythical creature, offers tips for children on how to protect wild animals and ensure a better future. The illustrations clearly reinforce the written message.”
—Marilyn Minto, elementary schoolteacher (ret.)

“Cute and adorable and definitely explorable! I can see elementary school teachers using the Q&A and activities at the end as part of their lesson plans. I can’t wait to read it to my 4th-grade grandchild!”
Susan Lewitt, grandmother and eco journalist 

“As an elementary teacher and a mother, I saw how social changes take off when children take home what they learn. I still remember the day my daughter yelled “Stop the car, Mommy. Put on your seatbelt!” as I backed our car out of our driveway. When parents start following their children’s lead … Griffie might be just what the eco doctor ordered.”
—Linda LeVier, elementry schoolteacher (ret.)

“The story sends a good message for kids to be aware of how the choices they make can impact the earth. It is a good step towards educating young students and adults that they need to start making smart changes now in order for earth to stay strong.”
 Shawn S. M., kindergarten teacher and mother of two, ages 5 and 8
