Good Morning, Great Blue Heron is a captivating children’s picture book that blends stunning photographs of Eastern shore birds with vibrant collage art and playful poetry. From the first light of dawn to the hush of twilight, young readers follow the graceful great blue heron and its feathered friends as they soar, fish, and flutter through their day. With rhythmic, engaging verse and breathtaking imagery, this book invites children to celebrate the beauty of nature and the wonder of birds from sunrise to sunset.

 

“This book is so enjoyable. Good Morning, Great Blue Heron is a gentle, beautifully crafted book that captures the quiet magic of nature’s early hours. The words are thoughtful and soothing. The presence of the great blue heron and accompanying artwork and photography are stunning — each image feels alive, inviting the reader to pause, reflect, and appreciate the natural world. Together, the words and visuals create a peaceful, uplifting experience. I hope they collaborate for more of these types of picture books. So do the kids!”
