Synopsis:

WHY CAN'T JENNY CATCH A FISH? Jenny wants to surprise her mom by teaching herself how to fish. Join Jenny on her adventure through a mangrove estuary where she meets several different wading birds including a Snowy Egret, White Ibis, Wood Stork, and Great Blue Heron. Each new friend tries to teach Jenny their fishing method, but Jenny's big spoonbill just won't work like the other birds' bills! Young readers will learn all about Florida's wading birds alongside Jenny, as she discovers important lessons about perseverance and being true to herself.

About the Author:

Susan Sachs Levine grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and started her career in marketing with Procter & Gamble. She then moved to Columbus where she became VP of Marketing and Environmental Affairs with SIG, an international packaging company. A wildlife enthusiast, Susan has traveled extensively to learn about the natural world, especially endangered species. After the birth of her two children, Susan focused her energy on serving as enrichment specialist at her children’s schools. It was in this role that she identified the need for picture books about major Ohio cities. Her first book, Packard Takes Flight: A Bird’s-Eye View of Columbus, Ohio, has become a standard in fourth grade classrooms when they study Ohio history. Harriett’s Homecoming: A High-Flying Tour of Cincinnati, Ohio, highlights all that is special about the Queen City. Both books are based on the true story of Peregrine Falcons that nest on the tall buildings downtown. Susan now lives in Naples, Florida, where she is enchanted by the wildlife, particularly the birds. She is a Florida Master Naturalist and excited to share all that she has learned about Florida’s wading birds with children through her new work, Jenny’s First Catch: An Adventure with Florida’s Wading Birds. In all her books, Susan blends her interest in wildlife with her imaginative storytelling to entertain and teach young children, while being a great resource for teachers and parents.
