“Families of a Feather by Fern Wexler is an excellent book for children or even adult birders interested in learning about the differences between species and their young-rearing behaviors. Illustrator Kelsey Buzzell has created realistic drawings of different feathered friends. I love that the pictures teach by clearly showing colored markings on the birds, which helps identify species in the wild. It had me reflecting on human families. Birds of a feather flock together, but who makes up the flocks is genuinely fascinating.”
—Inga Buccella, Readers’ Favorite

“Families of a Feather by Fern Wexler uses diverse bird species to show that there are many wonderful ways to be a family. The fascinating bird facts, sweet illustrations, and message of love make this an engaging and heartwarming book.”
―Sarah Swanson, Author of Best Little Book of Birds: the Oregon Coast
