Inchie - Draw a Picture of a Bird Day

Origin of "Draw a Picture of a Bird Day":

On April,1943, 7 year old Dorie Cooper visited her uncle in the hospital.

He had been injured in WWII, having lost his leg to a land mine.

She asked him to draw a picture of a bird.

He did, and she teased him saying it wasn't a very good picture,

but she would hang it in her room. This lifted his spirits.

Three years later, Dorie was struck and killed by a car.

At her funeral there were many bird pictures and drawings,

prompting the creation of this day.
