It was 7 in the evening when I got a phone call from a friend. \u2018Elena, my son has had his head buried in the book since midday! He has a question about the Coot. Can you help?\u2019 Awesome, I thought, it\u2019s happening! The book is out there, it\u2019s in homes, and more importantly, it\u2019s getting kids hooked. Awesome indeed!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Putting together a bird guide for children was not an easy business. All the usual design frustrations and printing dilemmas were just the tip of the iceberg \u2013 the real challenge was being able to re-imagine things that we know so well from a child\u2019s point of view. But how else could we hope to reach their young hearts?

The resulting book –\u00a0\u2018What\u2019s that bird? A bird guide for young explorers\u2019 –\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0is one of the many actions we have been taking to inspire the younger generations about the natural world around us. Within its beautifully illustrated pages, sixty-three amazing birds of Cyprus (and their habitats) are now waiting to be discovered, explored and treasured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
