The Birds in My Life, a newly published real life picture-story book about 23 jubilant talking birds and their compassionate caretaker, crowns the International Bestseller List.

The author, The Supreme Master Ching Hai, is a Gusi Peace Prize Laureate, Telly Award winner, world renowned humanitarian, artist and spiritual teacher. Brilliantly illustrated pages with dazzling colors and singsong-like rhymes, this book is a tribute to the author’s avian family members she has rescued and nurtured.

Each bird is penned with a biography depicting its life and its fun and quirky personality. All triumphed over their heartbroken pasts with the loving care of their new “mom” and became happy children in this modern-day Dr. Doolittle family. More strikingly, ecstatic poems from the hearts of these birds - telepathically told to the author – reveal love and affection that is the simple secret of human-animal communication. “If you have pets, try to ‘listen;’ they will lead you into their world, guarded secretly since the beginning of creation.” says Supreme Master Ching Hai.
