I just now saw your question (six months later). Thank you so much for your kind note. I'm delighted to be an OBOB author--so much so that I started an OBOB program at my 12-year-old's school!

Again, much gratitude . . .

Quotes by Melissa Hart  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Rain in the Northwest is not the pounding, flashing performance enjoyed by the eastern part of the nation. Nor is it the festive annual soaking I'd been used to in Southern California. Rather, it's a seven-month drizzle that darkens the sky, mildews the bath towels, and propels those already prone to depression into the dim comforts of antihistamines and a flask.”
Melissa Hart, Wild Within: How Rescuing Owls Inspired a Family

“If you want to change the world...cross-pollination is key!”
Melissa Hart, Daisy Woodworm Changes the World

“Sometimes just the affirmation that a situation sucks can turn a mood around and inspire strength and optimism.”
Melissa Hart, Wild Within: How Rescuing Owls Inspired a Family
