Heron at Pine Lake

One afternoon, while enjoying a long weekend with their parents at their cabin in Wisconsin, Lizbeth and Ian decide to take a rowboat ride on Pine Lake. Fishing for bluegills, or watching the diving loons while paddling along would usually be considered a good trip. But Lizbeth and Ian could not imagine the adventure that lay before them this day. They were accustomed to seeing a varied selection of wildlife at the lake, but coming face to face with a four-foot heron – that was unexpected! The excitement had just begun. The entire family and a neighbor are brought together to solve the problem of seeking refuge for a stranded young bird. It was a day like no other. This day would ultimately shape the futures of Lizbeth and Ian as adults. Have you ever experienced an exciting adventure while out enjoying nature? Happy reading!

Kathleen Kenneavy is from Oak Park, Illinois. As a child, she grew to love the power of reading. Teaching children to read and discover the magic of words led her to pursue a career as an elementary teacher in Illinois. But her love of nature and the sound of waves licking the lake shore coaxed her away from city life. She and her husband had a passion for outdoor life which prompted the move to Wisconsin where Kathleen continued teaching second grade for twenty-five years. Reading aloud to her young students fostered the idea to write this book. The story takes place at the family cabin on the shores of a beautiful pristine lake.
