Children can get a free autographed copy of Craig and Joy Johnson’s latest book, “Harry the Woodpecker’s Search for a Home,” in Freeland this weekend.

The event is from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at Wild Birds Unlimited, Van Barr Place Ste. AB, Freeland.

The Johnsons are a photographer and author team of “Our Pacific Northwest Birds & Habitat” and filmmakers who created the local wildlife documentary, “Birds, Backyard Habitat & Beyond.”

Passionate about Whidbey’s wildlife, the team has created books for children and delight in connecting kids with birds. As a special promotion, all kids under age 10 coming into Wild Birds Unlimited for this event will receive a free autographed copy of “Harry the Woodpecker’s Search for a Home,” as a gift.

The book is a local story about the challenges one pair of woodpeckers overcome to raise a family.

Additionally, some of the original artwork created for the book, watercolors by Craig Johnson, will be given away in a drawing. The Johnsons will also be available to talk to people about woodpeckers and other birds.

For more information, call Wild Birds Unlimited at 360-341-1404.

Craig Johnson is a regular contributor for The Record, supplying images for columnist Frances Wood’s monthly bird column.
