Hello! I'm Jessica Mann, award-winning writer and naturalist.
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.
With original pen-and-ink illustrations by Steve Habersang
