“Chris’ ability to transform feathers into stories is nothing short of magical! This beautiful book fully captures his boundless creativity, thoughtful approach, and deep consideration of meaning and materials. Chris’ admiration and respect for the creatures he depicts is embodied in each one of his works.” - Kennis Forte, Ph.D. curator of art, National Museum of Wildlife Art

"A feather is something light, almost weightless, its hollow core filled with air. Yet, in the hands of Chris Maynard a single feather can turn into a source of living symbols that reveal the secrets of both nature and spirit.
The unique artistry and wild imagination of this book repeatedly invokes a sense of wonder and awe that shifts and transcends the weight and gravities of the times in which we live." - Michael Meade, author of "Awakening the Soul" and "Fate and Destiny"
