Katy Tanis, children's book writer and illustrator and pattern designer, describes herself as "not a bird-bird person." In our conversation, Katy talks about Edward and Annie, her book about Rockhopper Penguins; her fascination with goldenrod and the Golden-crowned Kinglets who she's observed on this plant; and the cardinals and shore birds near her home. It sounds like Katy is a bird person.
