- Synopsis
- A young girl, alone without a home or family, comes across an amazing sight as she wanders through the woods. Cardinals, orioles, swallows, and wrens fill the sky above a bright blue house by the river. Sparrows sit on the windowsills. And a great barred owl is roosting above the front door. The girl is fascinated. And cautiously, secretly, she returns to the bird house day after day And then one day, without warning, the birds take flight--and find a way to change the girl's life forever. Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant and National Book Award-winning painter Barry Moser have woven magic into this modern-day fairy tale about loss, discovery, and the healing power of the natural world. Pictures in this tender book to read aloud with children are described. Check the Bookshare collection for well over sixty more books by Cynthia Rylant.
