Overview
Charlotte Zolotow Award Honor Book
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. This acclaimed, concept rich picture book by the celebrated team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek is just right for the very youngest reader.
Perfect for small dreamers and naturalists, 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. 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.
Birds encourages:
- observation
- curiosity
- appreciation of nature
- love for animals
- imagination
