She loved them with ribbons and flowers, embroidery and pearls. And feathers! What was better than a hat with grand, glorious feathers? But then Harriet discovered that millions of birds died so that she and her friends could soar at the height of style. A passion for fashion was one thing, but this was feather-brained! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo Harriet led the charge to take feathers out of fashion, getting laws passed that made it illegal to buy or sell wild bird feathers. In 1896, she and her fellow bird protectors founded the Massachusetts Audubon Society, which grew into a national organization that still protects birds today! Additional information about conservation can be found in the backmatter of this engaging picture book.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoy McCullough writes books and plays from her home in the Seattle area, where she lives with her husband and two children.
