Rory the Garden Bird is part of a beautiful series from DK that aims to inspire youngsters to discover so much of what is unseen in their yards, and teach them how to care for their yard-dwelling friends. Other titles in this series include Roly the Hedgehog, Roxy the Butterfly and Rosy the Bumblebee.

Frances Rodgers and Ben Grisdale are a husband-and-wife duo. Frances is the author of this series, while Ben, who has recently taken up painting is the illustrator. Together they have created this beautiful and charming set of books. After watching a program on television presented by Brian May regarding the plight of the hedgehog in the UK, they came up with the brilliant idea of making children’s books to encourage them to take an interest in the wildlife around them and to begin to help out at an early age. They have also decided to donate 10% of all profits made from the Roly the Hedgehog books to Project Amazing Grace.
