There's a bird outside your window
with a song that's full of sky,
and it wonders why you stay inside
when you are free to fly?

Author Biography

Ruth Doyle gently delivers powerful messages promoting love, empathy, and understanding, while celebrating the beauty of the world we live in. Many of her stories feature animals, an obsession that started early. With her daughter, she runs Mini Motley Sanctuary, home to a flock of sheep, eight chickens, three dogs, two rescued miniature horses, six guinea pigs, and two rabbits. The animals inspire and invade Ruth's stories, as well as make regular appearances at schools for animal-writing workshops. Ruth lives in Suffffolk, England.
