As the Crow Flies

All day long, you’re on the go.

You don’t have time to watch a crow.

But we’re here . . . and here . . . and there.

We poke our beaks in everywhere.

Crows can be noisy. They can be nosy and bold, too, which some people find annoying. But if you are lucky enough to live in a place where crows roost, you know they can also be funny, ingenious, and beautiful.

Beautiful to look at and fun to read aloud, this book created by Sheila Keenan and Kevin Duggan will make imaginations soar as high as the crow flies.

Sheila Keenan is an established author of fiction and nonfiction, including Greetings from the 50 States; Animals in the House: A History of Pets and People; O, Say Can You See? America’s Symbols, Landmarks, and Inspiring Words; and Gods, Goddesses, and Monsters: A Book of World Mythology. Her latest work, Dogs of War, is a graphic novel of historical fiction based on the role of dogs in the military.

Kevin Duggan’s work draws inspiration from the great natural history artists of the past, while seeking new insights into the plants and animals we coexist with. His work has been exhibited from Nantucket to Fifth Avenue, Manhattan; from Marfa, Texas, to the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London. He is a member of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden’s Florilegium Society. This is his first book. See more at www.kevinduggan.com.
