Were You a Wild Duck Where Would You Go?

From the d.j.: "Jane Osborn-Smith's unparalleled watercolor illustrations portray the beauty, variety, and detail of nature, and also evoke the warmth of myriad fluttering wings, the brilliance of sights through the glistening eye of a duck, and the weariness of achingly long hours of flight in search of a refuge. Her distinct combination of reality and imagination creates instant identification with the plight of the wild duck and encourages response to his plea for the future."

"Award-winning author George Mendoza divines the essence of the natural world through his invitation to join the wild duck in his reminiscences, his search, and his hope. His forthright, thoughtful words challenge a world dangerously threatened by pollution and carelessness: remember what we have lost, ensure its reality once again."
