Overview
In what the New York Times Book Review calls “a perfect book,” a little girl watches birds from her window and dreams she can fly.
Perfect for the small dreamers and naturalists in your life, this critically acclaimed picture book is from the award-winning husband-and-wife team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek.
With a fine eye for detail, a girl observes and describes birds–their sizes, their colors, their shapes, the way they move and appear and disappear, and how they are most like her. She imagines what it would be like if clouds looked like birds, or if she could ask the birds questions.
Though she can’t fly, the girl can do one thing birds do–she can sing. Vibrant and lively paintings accompany a text pitched precisely to preschoolers in this husband-and-wife collaboration.
Booklist said, “Together, the words and pictures create a book that will enchant preschool audiences again and again.” Birds “will resonate with the youngest children,” said School Library Journal.
