A White Cheek Turaco
I had to ask Laurel from O’Reilly what type of bird was on the cover of my book. They decide what goes on the cover and I have no idea how they decide, but since its my book I figured I should at least know what it is. Laurel was kind enough to share with me that it is a White Cheek Turaco. Actually a cool looking bird!

Wow. The cover really looks great. Congrats.
I know that if I ever write a book, I'd really, really want a naked mole rat. But Laurel says that isn't the way these things work :(

I can just imagine that conversation:
You: "I'd like a Rat. I Mole Rat."
Laurel: "Um, we don't do rats."
You: "How about if its naked?"
Laurel: "Oh, I think my other line is ringing. Gotta go!"
