About the Author

Jennifer Scardino was born in Camden, New Jersey and currently resides in the rural town of Winslow where she has lived for thirty-six years.
Growing up, Jennifer spent a great many summers and weekends with her grandparents in Magnolia, New Jersey. They would feed the birds, share binoculars and talk about the birds they saw that day. Birdwatching bridged the generation gap and gave them something common to share together as well as teaching her a respect and love for nature.
This is Jennifer’s first book.
