Birds: An Enchanting Story About a Girl

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 celebrated husband-and-wife team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek is just right for the very youngest reader.

With a fine eye for detail, a girl observes and describes birds—their sizes, their colors, their shapes, the way they move, 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 something birds do—she can sing! Vibrant and lively paintings accompany a text pitched precisely to preschoolers.
