Out today! Duet: Our Journey in Song with the Northern Mockingbird by Phillip Hoose is a great look at the history of this amazing bird. Did you know we used to keep them as pets, and they were almost driven to extinction? Now the northern mockingbird is the state bird in five states, and their epic songs can be heard in every US state. Also, I painted the cover. Available through Macmillan Publishing, Amazon and more.
