The design conveys a sense of curiosity and nature-focused exploration

Are you ready to embark on a fun, educational journey into the world of birds? Mark your calendars for April 1st, 2025, as award-winning author and naturalist Stan Tekiela invites you to explore his latest masterpiece, Whose Feather Is That?. This interactive, beautifully illustrated children’s book is the perfect way to ignite curiosity about wildlife and foster a love for nature in young readers.

Why Whose Feather Is That? Is a Must-Have for Your Bookshelf

Birds are some of nature’s most fascinating creatures, and their feathers are equally captivating. Whose Feather Is That? transforms these wonders into a delightful guessing game that engages children and adults alike. Each page features a unique bird feather accompanied by a clever clue, encouraging readers to guess which bird it belongs to. From the ruby-throated hummingbird to the majestic great horned owl, this book showcases a variety of North American birds.

The image shows a Canada goose standing on a nest situated on a small mound in a wetland area. Surrounding the goose are a few fluffy, yellow goslings, indicating that they are newly hatched. The nest is made of twigs and grasses, and there's visible water with some vegetation nearby. The background is a blurred, grassy field, creating a serene natural setting. This scene is reflective of the text mentioning Canada geese, emphasizing their habitat near bodies of water and family-based behaviors. The goose appears vigilant, possibly protecting the young goslings from potential threats.

Written by Stan Tekiela, a renowned naturalist and wildlife photographer, this book not only entertains but also teaches valuable lessons about the importance of protecting birds and their habitats. Stan reminds readers that observing feathers in nature is exciting, but collecting them is often against the law. Instead, he encourages children to take photos or make sketches, which deepens their appreciation for wildlife conservation.

Stan is no stranger to the world of nature books. With over 190 published works, including field guides, children’s books, and wildlife puzzles, the author has a proven track record of captivating audiences with his stunning photography and engaging storytelling. A Bachelor of Science in Natural History from the University of Minnesota and numerous national and regional awards further highlight his expertise.

Stan’s passion for nature shines through in every page of Whose Feather Is That?. His ability to combine scientific accuracy with an entertaining narrative makes this book an excellent resource for parents, educators, and young readers.

The image depicts a Northern Flicker woodpecker peeking out of a hole in a tree. The bird’s plumage features distinct spotted patterns, with a red marking on its head and a black crescent on its chest. The hole, likely used as its nest, is nestled into the bark of a light-colored tree that dominates the left side of the image. The background is a soft blur of green, indicating a forested or leafy area, suggesting a natural habitat setting. The bird appears alert and observant, possibly surveying its surroundings for food or predators. This scene aligns with the text's description of Northern Flickers using natural holes or previously made nest holes for habitation.
