Mother Nature needs help, and these feathered friends have a plan!
When the birds of the east coast gather at Grassy Sound for a vital meeting with Mother Nature, they discover the wetlands need their help. Alarmed by this news, Bess the elegant egret and Pearl the wise pelican are determined to act and desperately brainstorm ways to save their beloved habitat. Nearby, a young girl named Jule overhears their plans and eagerly offers her assistance. Together, this unlikely trio hatches a wonderful idea--putting on a show to reveal the beauty of the local wildlife to the humans. Through their clever scheme, Bess, Pearl, and Jule hope to inspire everyone to protect the precious marshes of Grassy Sound.
Inspired by the author's real experiences with the vibrant bird life and featuring gorgeous watercolor illustrations, What Jule Heard at Grassy Sound is a heartwarming story about friendship and the importance of environmental stewardship for readers of all ages.
