Synopsis

Southern Maryland writers George Miller and Donald Shomette have written and illustrated a most unique book entitled Cooper Finds Her Thermal: As Told to George Miller by a Little Pink Bird. The work is presented as an allegory in which the myriad birds of the Eastern Seaboard voice their environmental concerns in comic book format.

In the story, a young Cooper's Hawk, ejected from the nest at an early age, makes the journey down the eastern coastal migration route in search of her mother. Along the way, she is befriended by a Turkey Vulture and a Hoot Owl who have organized the Avian Liberation Front to rectify the environmental damage inflicted upon the tidewater estuaries. High-definition creative artwork, computer graphics and photography of the Chesapeake Bay and its wildlife portray the dramatic threats posed by the encroachment of humanity.

Cooper Finds Her Thermal is sharply critical of anti-environmental forces at work along the Eastern Seaboard. The style is humorous, easily read, and artistically presented with several layers of meaning and wit lurking beneath the surface.
