Book Reading: Manu the Boy Who Loved Birds

Author and artist Caren Loebel-Fried reads her new book, Manu, the Boy Who Loved Birds, a story about extinction, conservation, and culture, told through a child’s experience and curiosity. Readers learn along with Manu about the extinct honeyeater for which he was named, his Hawaiian heritage, and the relationship between animals and habitat, and how we can all make a difference for wildlife.
