The winner of the second Little Sun Award
Every bird has its own house, and each of them looks different.
Every bird parent thoughtfully decorates its own house so that its pullus may grow up safe in its confines.
While reading this book with your children, you can go bird-watching with your kids in your neighborhood, and meditate upon the meaning of a home with them.
