Hello! I'm Jessica Mann, award-winning writer and naturalist based in Teton Valley, Idaho and Ojai, California.
I write realistic animal fiction that lets readers
see through the eyes of wild birds and animals,
weaving together emotion, science, and mythology into engaging stories that entertain and inspire.

When her high mountain wilderness is threatened by humans, a rebellious young bird must teach others how to work together to save their common home.
A rich, mythical story told through avian eyes about the bonds of family and the joys of friendship.
It may just change the way you see birds forever.
