This bilingual, educational, fundraising colouring book comprises 30 of the author/artist’s favourite water-loving birds that either live year-round in or migrate through Quebec. The book features lively images of birds in their typical environment. Each bird’s image is accompanied by a page of interesting facts with mini-illustrations of insects, fruits, plants and critters — ready to be coloured as well. To help readers better understand the terminology, the book includes an image of bird morphology that can also be coloured in. Also included is a bird-watching list to help readers get started.

The coil-bound book lies flat to make the pages easier to colour and allow artists to remove the completed pages. It is printed on 80-pound matte paper with a glossy, full-colour cover.

Most of the illustrations were based on photos taken by virtual friends, local and worldwide, met via social media; so this is really a child of the pandemic and our global connectedness.

Proceeds from profits from each sale will go to the McGill Bird Observatory (https://www.oommbo.org), a registered Canadian non-profit charity run entirely by volunteers. These unsung local birding heroes work on a tract of land adjacent to the Morgan Arboretum, researching and tracking migratory populations.
