BURNSVILLE, Minn. - April 27, 2025 - PRLog -- EAGAN, MINNESOTA  — This spring, visitors to the Minnesota Zoo's beloved Farm Babies exhibit will get an extra treat: a special celebration of birds, books, and baby animals with local author and artist Heather Boschke.

Heather's children's book, Little Birdie Babies, will be featured in the Farm Babies Book Walk at the Wells Fargo Family Farm. This outdoor storytelling adventure invites families to read along, page by page, as they learn about baby birds while exploring the farmyard and meet real farm animals.

As part of the festivities, Heather will host storytime readings of Little Birdie Babies on Sunday May 4 and Saturday, May 10 at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. both days. After each reading, there will be a baby birdie coloring activity, celebrating the season's new life and colorful joy.

The Farm Babies exhibit, running through May 18, 2025, is one of the Minnesota Zoo's most beloved spring traditions, giving families the chance to meet adorable newborn animals, experience hands-on farm activities, enjoy live music, and capture unforgettable memories with fun photo ops.

"I'm thrilled to be part of Farm Babies this year," said Boschke. "Little Birdie Babies celebrates the magic of new beginnings, and sharing the book surrounded by real baby animals at the Zoo's family farm makes it even more special."
