The cuckoo and the swallow,
The corncrake and the weather-bleat,
Soon all the rest will follow'

In Warwickshire, the Goldfinch was known as "Proud Tailor" as it was believed these colourful little birds contained the souls of tailors who, when alive, would sing as sweetly as the Goldfinch while working the cloth #folklore #birdlore
Today’s my best photo

One thing that’s always important to me in writing my NF books is *back matter*. It just adds so much to the experience, especially for kids who love to keep exploring more. Context is everything.

BIRDLORE has a few end spreads, including tips on how to become a birder — and this gorgeous view!

BIRDLORE is a wonderful biography about Florence Merriam Bailey by @jesskeatingbooks.bsky.social, with gorgeous art by @devonholzwarth.bsky.social.
Grateful that Florence advocated for studying birds in their habitats during a time when birds were killed for research and decoration. 💚 #kidlit 📚👍

"During the last ten years I’ve studied their jealousies and acts of revenge as well as their acts of what some might call kindness. Harpies don’t pretend and lie as humans do. When a bird woman smiles, she means it."

In some parts of England, goldfinches were known as "Proud Tailors" as it was believed that these birds who sing so sweetly, contained the souls of tailors who were known to sing while they worked.
