Bird Song
by George
Pessin
Description
Bird Song is a heart-warming
story for all ages. Two birds, one with a broken wing, the other blind, must
fly together on their migratory journey south. They encounter various
adventures along the way and learn first-hand the power of song.
Excerpt
The thrill of racing with the dawn outweighed any risk. In the speeding
silence of muted colors there was a rush of clarity and exhilaration that Peep
equated with the vitality of life. He would travel each day in a different
direction, setting out in a straight line as far as the eye could see. At
midday he abruptly turned homeward and raced back before dark.
On this particular morning, Peep was heading north. Lucky for him, an Owl
had already eaten his evening ration of hamster and lark eggs and did not
bother to fetch his prey after striking it from the air. Peep heard something
break like a twig then passed out.
When he awoke he was laying on a bed of birch leaves in a forest he did
not recognize. He did a full turn of his surroundings; high and low canopies
intermingled, the sky was barely visible. Not a song was heard. He was on a
sloped hillside, closer to the bottom than the top. Help would be at the top,
water at the bottom, water first.
Review
This is an adorable
story about the loving relationship between a bird with a broken wing and a
blind eagle. The words are lyrical and fun and the illustrations are simple and
sweet. Perfect length for a bedtime story or nap time. The little ones want to
hear it over and over!
