I SAW WILD PARROTS IN NEW YORK CITY! by George Sommers is the new children’s book published by Wiggles Press which explains how these exotic birds journeyed thousands of miles from South America to New York City and how they adapted from life in the tropics to the ultimate cold and gritty northern urban environment.
