Poetry and photography make this an enjoyable experience for readers of all ages. In addition
to heart
warming poems and exquisite photographs, the book contains
brief notes on the
life and environment of each bird. Jane Yolen and Jason Stemple have captured
the essence of each bird in their natural world with their
combined efforts. The
book is beautifully formatted with a variety of colorful
pages that effectively
project the mood of the bird's habitat. Each crisp photograph is
precisely
focused to portray the bird in fine detail. Readers will
definitely look at the
world of birds more closely in the future.
This book has
presented many unusual birds to it's readers. Some of them are
uniquely shaped and make readers wonder how they can
fly. As Donald Kroodsma
said in the forward, ╥the birds are far more than and accumulation
of facts. If
╥God touched the bird__ and so it flies╙...Jane
Yolen and Jason Stemple are
themselves God's helpers.╙ McNeil, Linda
