How to Make a Heron Happy



Hamish is worried about the heron in the park, because it always looks grumpy, so he has lots of ideas to cheer it up. But maybe it isn’t grumpy after all…
I’ve always loved herons, because they look impossibly exotic and fancy to be in a dreich Scottish park or river. So I’ve always been on the look out for good books about herons. After years of looking out and never finding, I just decided to write one myself! Luckily for you, I didn’t draw the pictures – Nicola O’Byrne has does some gorgeous pictures of our beautiful grumpy heron. The flying heron on page 21 is my favourite!
