For fans of Wesley the Owl and The Soul of an Octopus comes the story of a sick baby bird nursed back to health and released into the wild by renowned writer/artist Zickefoose.
Emotional and honest, Saving Jemima is a universal story of the communion between a wild creature and the human chosen to raise it..
She falls hard for this engaging, feisty and funny bird, a creative muse and source of strength through the author\'s own heartbreaking changes.
Throughout, Julie grapples with the fallout of Jemima\'s illness, studies molt and migration, and does her best to keep Jemima strong and wild.
Jemima bonds with a wild jay, stretching her ties with the family.
When the PBS show Nature expresses interest in filming Jemima, Julie must train her to behave on camera, as the bird gets ever wilder.
But medicating a free-flying wild bird is a challenge.
Shortly after release, Jemima turns up with a deadly disease.
Julie\'s constant care brings her around, and as Jemima is raised for eventual release, she takes over the house and the rest of the author\'s summer.
But she is starved and very sick.
When Jemima, a young orphaned blue jay, is brought to wildLife rehabilitator Julie Zickefoose, she is a virtually tailless, palm-sized bundle of gray-blue fluff.
