Discover Alison's Fishing Birds, a delightful tale from BC's renowned author and conservationist, Roderick Haig-Brown. This story follows a young girl's captivating encounters with British Columbia's most intriguing river birds. From the "fierce and splendid" Dipper that "bog, bob, bob[s]" and dives for fish, to the Belted Kingfisher that "drops like a stone" to snatch its prey, Alison's riverside observations reveal the magic of the natural world. Like all of Haig-Brown's treasured stories, each bird—from Osprey to Heron to Merganser—imparts a unique lesson about life and the environment.

Roderick Haig-Brown has spent almost a century teaching us to explore, learn, and respect our wild spaces. Alison's Fishing Birds is a long-overdue gem ready to charm a new generation of readers.
