Review:
"[Wing is] a work that promotes a true conservation ethic, revolving around the mutually dependent relationship between people and nature." - John Sawhill, President & CEO Emeritus, The Nature Conservancy
"Wing is simply wonderful... A beautiful story that should be required reading for all humans living on our fragile planet." - Richard Wainwright, author
"Morano challenges the reader to think, feel, and enjoy. I hope that no one passes up the opportunity to experience the message." - Jason Chavez, "Albuquerque Journal"
"Morano's Eco-Adventure Series is triumphant on all fronts. He presents animals working alone, or in conjunction with humans, to reach uplifting, sometimes bittersweet conclusions. He pulls out, from our own everyday existence, the beautiful and dangerous world of birds, fish, and more without drenching those worlds in the violence that nature holds inherit; Morano never dips into the saccharine, however, and it is this balancing act that spotlights his talent as a writer and the sincere, adult heart behind all that he writes." - The Brilliant Review
"...a warm story...a great deal of imagination...a good job of pulling the reader into the story...I can see [these] novels some day as possible Disney movies." - Will Norton, Jr., Dean, University of Nebraska College of Journalism and Mass Communications
