The Gooney Birds of Southport by Hope Taylor Spencer

This rhyming picture book is author Hope Taylor Spencer's second children's book. Again she's achieving her lifelong dream of publishing such a book. The stanzas tell the story of a mysterious artist in the quaint town of Southport, North Carolina, who paints colorful, fanciful, one-of-a-kind Gooney Birds on donated or recovered wooden boards. She, friends, and others in the know deliver the Gooney Birds at night all over in Southport, Oak Island, and beyond. No one knows the name of the person who's creating the birds. Each Gooney Bird is unique with bright feathers and a quirky smile. The birds appear everywhere: at the lighthouse, in shop windows, by trees, on benches, in yards, and all around. Tourists and town folks alike search all over town for Gooney Birds to take home. The artist's "message is clear: 'Spread kindness, ' she writes. 'Never fail to share cheer.' " The author closes the story with suggestions for ways others can share kindness where they live today. Readers will nod knowingly and maybe even become inspired by these suggestions as they read the book. They'll want to read this tale time and again to enjoy the rhymes, the colorful artwork, and the messages of kindness, cheer, and love.

About the Author
Spencer, Hope Taylor: - Hope Taylor Spencer is the proud daughter of a military family. She has lived in 11 states and Puerto Rico! As she moved around, Hope learned that she could find great friends in books. She spent many happy days reading about the world and dreamed of someday writing her own book for children.As an elementary teacher, Hope shared her love of books with her students. Her happiest moments in the classroom were the ones spent reading aloud, especially when she read the stories she loved as a child. Her greatest joy was to see one of her students reading and rereading a book independently. As joyful and satisfying as teaching was for Hope, she longed to write a story of her own. A book that children would want to explore over and over.Another constant in Hope's life was the beach. She visited beaches on the shores of Lake Huron in Michigan and on the coasts of California, Alabama, Florida, and Texas. But her favorite beaches were the ones her grandparents took her to visit every summer in North Carolina. Hope was fascinated by the water, the sand, the seashells, the culture, and the sea life. She knew she would write a story about the beach one day.Today Hope lives in a small town near the coast of North Carolina just like the one her grandparents lived in so many years ago. She lives with her husband, Brent, and their two small dogs, Joey and Sandy. Hope loves reading, gardening, spending time with family, and, of course, visiting the beach.
