What good timing for this book to come out! A number of 4th grade classes that I work with participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count each year and they are so excited to use “The Blues” as part of that unit! Not only does the story connect students to the world of birds and bird watching, but also regions and geography! Thank you for a great resource!

I am a librarian and friend of Marianne. It has been with great delight and pride that I have followed each and every book. My grandaughter has a copy of every one. I also had given a copy of Over In The Jungle to a friend’s grandson. His mother wrote to me with much enthusiastic praise for the book, Marianne’s abilities and about how her son loved the book and had memorized it all.

We are proud to have all of Marianne’s children’s books in
our home. They are much enjoyed by our granddaughters and
nature learning tools for all of us. Some 35 years ago
Marianne was our children’s nursery school teacher. She
had such a flair for interacting with little people, draw-
ing them in with her enthusiasm and a bit of theatre. She
brings these gifts + hard work and research to her
deserved success as a children’s author. Kudos dear friend. Marilyn & Gerry

Truly a labor of love; love that shines through on every page. Great photos, lyrical text, and a beautiful message combine to form a timeless classic. A book for children and the child in every adult.

Marianne was an inspiring and enthusiastic co-worker when we both worked for the Palm Beach County Library System. Her use of games, music and children involvement in her story times brought parents back time and again to her programs. We collaborated to use music as a dynamic force that was exciting for both children and parents when they came to the library!

I’m proud to say Marianne is my Mother; growing up, she would spend bedtime reading me stories and making them come alive through her enthusiasm, expression and love of literature. I especially enjoyed, listening to her own stories; stories that would come from her own life experiences. I’m so delighted that her gift has such a far reach via her published works. I know there will be more and more… as she always has new and exciting ideas in the way she looks at our world!

Marianne is a wonderful friend. She has given so freely of her time and talents to her local library systems.
Her creativity and musicality make her books and her
programs exceptional. I have had the pleasure of assisting her with researching her topics and I am always thrilled to see the beautiful end result! Marianne Berkes
is a treasure to her local community and to her loyal fans everywhere.
