Reviews
"A soulful, vivid look at the hidden world of winter birds." * New York City Audobon *
Hall's skillful poetry reads aloud well, making this a solid candidate for small-group storytime even where the birds-or even the snow-aren't familiar. * Kirkus Reviews *
Gentle enough for bedtime wind-down, this title invites repeat reading and perhaps a virtual trip online to listen to bird calls. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
Hall's effervescent poems beg to be read aloud. * Booklist *
