A funny and heartwarming story that also happens to be true. It all began with a visit of a Great Blue Heron to the author's backyard. Henry the Heron is a wild bird that has also become a pet, a very unusual pet to be sure. You cannot pet him, or put him on a leash and take him for a walk, or bring him inside the house to sleep next to you at night. But this wonderful bird has brought such joy into the lives of many over the last ten years that he has continued visiting the author's backyard. This is a true story of friendship with nature and reminds us all of the wonders of nature that surround us, we just need to pay attention.
Sondra Perry's first children's book, The Most Unusual Pet Ever, Henry our Great Blue Heron came out in 2011 and is the true story of meeting "Henry the Heron" and their continued friendship of ten years. Baby Carrots is the first book in the "Kids Carrots Book Series" that focuses on gently life lessons for children with the help of the wise old Henry the Heron and all the critters from the backyard. The next two books in the series are due out in 2015. Becoming a step-mother of three were the inspiration behind creating this series of books. Sondra lives in San Ramon, CA with her husband Lance. She regularly gives fun and educational readings and presentations to groups of all ages. You can reach her at sondra.perry4@gmail.com or www.KidsCarrotsBookSeries.com
