BACKYARD BIRDS

Chloe Goodhart Gareth Lucas

A Numbers Book

Introducing a new board book series, filled with fun facts, that invites young readers into the exciting world of bird-watching.
From two red-bellied woodpeckers to eight northern mockingbirds, kids will explore some of the most popular backyard birds nature has to offer while learning their numbers, too! The whole family can bring these books outdoors and bird together!

Key selling points
- Sturdy format. 7x8 board book with a hardcover case adds gift value, mimics traditional birding guides like Sibley's, and allows parents to bring outside without worrying about damaging.
- Multiple Educational Opportunities. Children are introduced to the birds, their names, and a fun fact. The books also teach colors/numbers.
- Fun, accessible (and socially distanced) hobby: Birding requires little to no money or experience to get started and this series serves as a quick guide to birding in the backyard, a city park, or on a rural hike.


Chloe Goodhart is a publishing manager, self-proclaimed cat lady, and bird lover with a passion for sharing the hobby with others.
Gareth Lucas is an illustrator, designer, and skilled banjo player living in England with his wife and children.

[A] truly wonderful board book with delightful elements that appeal to children of all ages...The inviting, colorful illustrations are (incredibly) beautiful... The information provided in the text - with engaging rhymes, and clarifying sidebar factoids - is charming and fun to read out loud. Simply put, and without exaggeration, this is - in my opinion - one of the finest board books ever printed. I adore this book. Every single page. I am genuinely excited to share it with my children and grandchildren in years and decades to come. Read more...
