I Am a Bird
Author(s): Dana Walrath
Celebrate the bonds between fathers, sons, and nature with this lovely, sun-drenched debut picture book.
I am a bird. I glide
into arms open wide.
I’m the hands that hold
and the eyes that shine…
when it’s you
and it’s me
and the sea.
A boy and his father spend their day at the beach, exploring the shore, the sand, the water, and everything in between. The result is a warm, elegant celebration of nature, connection, and the myriad relationships formed all around us.
Review(s):
“Kim certainly manages to convey both the delight the pair finds in each other's company and the child's exuberance. . . . Imaginative children could take this idea far; so could teachers covering homonyms and metaphors.”
“A free-verse poem that celebrates the way that nouns can become verbs . . . a prompt that can start children off on a search for other words that work in the same way.”
“A sweet and immersive appreciation of nature and family time together. Perfect for one-on-one and small group sharing.”
