Where the Herons Return

Every spring, something remarkable happens above Seattle's busy shoreline. High in the treetops, Great Blue Herons return to raise a new generation. Below, a community of volunteers quietly watches, restores habitat, and protects the place these magnificent birds call home.As one curious young heron grows from a tiny chick and prepares for its very first flight, children will discover how patience, observation, and kindness can help wildlife thrive-and how ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.Inspired by the real Great Blue Heron colony at Seattle's Ballard Locks and the dedicated volunteers of Heron Habitat Helpers, Where the Herons Return is a beautifully illustrated story celebrating conservation, community, and the wonder of paying attention.Because sometimes the greatest way to help nature... is simply to care enough to look up.
