Overview
"Amid recent efforts to diversify bird-watching, this inviting work is especially welcome. Certain to cultivate a love of nature in all who pick it up." —Kirkus Reviews
"Anthony’s bird illustrations are lovingly rendered… A worthy addition to a collection, especially one that offers a bird-watching kit for little birders in its Library of Things." —School Library Journal
Meet Sparrow—a curious young birder eager to explore her neighborhood’s surroundings—in this STEM picture book written by a professional wildlife ornithologist.
Sparrow sets out for a day of birding, where she watches, listens, and identifies the many types of birds around her through their color (red—a cardinal), song (“Cheer up! Cheer up!”—a robin), and movement (flitting backward, forward, and even upside down—a hummingbird). Using her notebook and markers, Sparrow records all the birds she sees on her walk.
This interactive STEM offering is a welcome primer for young children interested in birding close to home. The back matter features an author’s note, birding tips for kids to get started, and a primer birding field guide.
"An avian-loving child named Sparrow goes bird-watching in this observational picture book that emphasizes sensory methods of perception. . . the protagonist’s day outside invitingly suggests that patience and perception are all it takes to connect to nature. An author’s note, bird-watching tips, and bird glossary conclude." —Publishers Weekly
