A boy and his mom continue the family tradition of participating in the annual bird count. Since Gramps went South for the winter, the boy hopes to spot Gramps’s favorite bird for him—a dove! But with so many different birds in the nature preserve, will he be able to spot one? This heart-warming family story about nature celebrates a holiday census that was first started in 1900 and happens every year.

Hi! My name is Maria Luisa, I was born in Rome in 1991, where I still live and work as a freelance illustrator. I work from my studio where I spend most of my time but when I’m not working I can be found dream version: outside in the woods, around European cities. honest version: on the sofa watching Netflix or reading a book, in bookstores spending the money I earned, by illustrating children’s books, buying other children’s books. I like to drink tea and to draw furry and pointed nose animals :)
