The Blue Songbird [hc]
By Vern Kousky
A little blue songbird longs to sing like her sisters. But whenever she tries, she cannot get the tune right. Her mother encourages her to leave home and find a song that only she can sing.
With courage and tenacity, she travels the world, seeking advice from a crane, an owl, and a mean-looking crow, and other birds, hoping they will lead her to her special song.
Told in gentle, lyrical prose and with bright, beautiful watercolor illustrations, The Blue Songbird is an empowering story for kids of all shapes, sizes, and singing ability. 40 pages
"The layout of art and text is beautifully contrived, detailed illustrations framing the broad, dynamic strokes of color for sky, mountains, and water, with shaped text and white space completing the effect. The text flows almost poetically, and the voice of the young bird is perfectly captured." -School Library Journal (Kindergarten-Grade 3)
