It's a beautiful story. Helen, I think I've read all your books, including this new beautiful one and shared it recently. I've studied sandhill cranes several times through the years, live in Colorado so went north to Nebraska & to Southwest Colorado, was fortunate enough to see two whooping cranes in their flock long ago. I hope your book inspires many to write about the birds they love as well as to learn more about sandhill cranes. Thanks, Michelle, for bringing Helen's visit. No need to put me into the drawing.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-60983068145601636942019-04-29T10:19:11.029-04:002019-04-29T10:19:11.029-04:00Good Morning Helen and Michelle.

She just gets to my heart every time.<br />In my experience (thankfully) whenever I feel like giving up this education "thing" or wondering if I've really made a difference I get some sort of communication from the universe to keep going -- not as dramatic as the young woman looking for the book from Helen. But, it's true that we really do touch others. I'm so grateful for this post and this new and beautiful book! Many congratulations. I wish the words and the photos much success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
