The Big Red Bird Feeder follows a young girl interested in birdwatching who wants to solve the mystery of what is happening to the food she puts out every night. What was the inspiration for this children’s mystery story?

This story was inspired by Nature – the happenings in my own backyard. It was a fun and amusing experience to see the bird food disappear faster than what I expected. The sequence of happenings eventually led to crafting the idea behind The Big Red Bird Feeder children’s story book.

Are you a birdwatcher? If so, how did you get interested in this hobby, and at what age?

Even though I am not a dedicated bird watcher, I have always been interested in bird watching from a very young age. For this reason, we have had a bird feeder and hummingbird feeder in our backyard. It is so delightful to watch them peck at the bird feeder or build a nest in my house on the top of the pillars.

What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?

This story book intends to be a delightful read for young children who are learning how to read. I wanted to spark their curiosity and imagination and reinforce the belief that they can solve any problem or challenge when they put their minds to work.

What is the next book that you are working, on and when will it be available?

I have a story outline in the draft stage: a children’s fantasy story book about what young birds can do with the power of listening and learning.

I am working on the book and would like to publish it by the year 2024-25.
