Harriet’s Ruffled Feathers
By Joy McCullough, Atheneum.
"Bird puns abound in this origin story of the National Audubon Society. . . McCullough’s prose maintains a playfully vintage flavor. . . Light-hued watercolors by Galotta combine delicate lines with simple figures of various skin tones, intricately rendered fashions, and near-realistic birds in this buoyant portrait of an early female conservationist." – Publishers Weekly
"Lively text pairs perfectly with the dreamy, soft quality of the watercolor illustrations. This book not only tells Hemenway’s story, but with extensive and engaging back matter, also encourages readers to stand up for issues they believe in. . . A thoughtful biography . . . "– School Library Journal
