My Enchanted Window (eBook, ePUB)

The Adventures of a Small Feathered Family in a Big Southwestern Desert

Beschreibung

From her traditional pueblo house overlooking New Mexico's beautiful Middle Rio Grande Valley, the author watched a little covey of quail pass daily in front of her window, all in a line, like a platoon of tiny, feathered soldiers. She fell in love with them and, over time, this story was born. My Enchanted Window captures the subtle beauty of the region and provides a heart-warming narrative of the quail family as they mate, hatch and raise their chicks, and overcome a variety of challenges. Through the quail family's adventures, readers will learn about the region's geology, seasons, native plants and animals, and history.
