Diane Phelps Budden is a children's author who resides in Arizona. Her stories are influenced by the flora and fauna of the desert landscape. She is currently writing another story about ravens in the Grand Canyon.
What a lovely story--really unusual and a great opportunity to share with children the unique abilities of our feathered friends. --Paula Blankenship, author of Lulu's Lost Shoes and Lulu's Wild Party from Treasure Bay's We Both Read series
For anyone who admires ravens and their intellect, this is a interesting read to share with young children, since the story is based on the real-life training of a raven in Tucson equipped with a GPS tracker. When Shade notices a man wandering alone in the desert, he suspects something is amiss and returns to alert his owner/trainer. Unfortunately, the pen and ink drawings are less captivating and colorful than those typically found in picture books. --Deb Bock, Southwest Books of the Year 2010, Pima County Public Library, Tucson, AZ
