Don’t be puzzled over why I’m posting about my other book. (Sorry…)

The letter, which I got last week, wasn’t for “Banana.” It was for my previous book, “To See Every Bird on Earth: A Father, a Son, and a Lifelong Obsession,” and it came from Nicole Foucault, of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, in the form of a word search puzzle which she created, using words and phrases related to the book and to birding.

Here’s what Nicole wrote:

Dear Mr. Koeppel,

I loved reading ‘To See Every Bird on Earth!’ Here is a word search game I created with vocabulary from your book. You may reproduce and use my game. If not, please destroy and recycle the enclosed copy.”

Thank you,

Nicole Foucault

Destroying Nicole’s lovely masterpiece was not an option. So I’m posting it here instead. Clicking on the thumbnail will download a PDF that you can complete yourself.
