Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on October 03, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Singer! May your day be as delightfully poetic and whimsical as the worlds you've created in "A Full Moon is Rising"—though hopefully without any werewolves crashing the party. Your talent for turning caterpillars into literary butterflies has enchanted readers young and old alike.

From exploring exotic birds to guiding us through strange places we now happily call home, you’ve shown that nonfiction can indeed fly high with imagination. Here's wishing you another year filled with inspiration—and perhaps fewer encounters of creatures stranger than those already gracing your pages!

Cheers to more adventures on paper (and beyond)!
