Reviews, Awards, Honors: Blue Heron

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews:

“ . . . a contemporary family under unusual stress.  . . .The heron, a potent symbol ( . . . it can mean life or death), has been Maggie's preoccupation and solace; in the end, though Dad's adult problems may defy solution, she manages to transform the belligerent Tucker's perception of the awe-inspiring bird. A thoughtful, beautifully crafted story.”
