“Exquisite cut-paper illustrations . . . It tells the story of a few adventurous birds, but it’s really a story about love, overcoming fear, and being human.” —The Atlantic
In the beautiful papercut prose he is known for, Rob Ryan presents a celebration of love and family just as heartfelt as it is visually arresting: Two songbirds eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child, and as they tend to their nest, they can’t help but worry about becoming parents. It’s the generosity and support of their avian friends and neighbors that confirms the world awaiting their unborn chick is indeed full of kindness. Brimming with poetic verse, each page is a work of art that will charm new parents and longtime fans of Ryan’s evocative imagery.
