5 out of 5 stars
Birds wait in anticipation until the little eggs can hatch. Then the parent birds care for their little ones and comfort them and encourage them. They listen and tease and enjoy their time together cherishing one another. Eventually the little birds learn to fly away on their own, and the parents must let them go.
I loved the artwork in this book! The art really says it all. The text is limited to one word per page, the word describing the emotion of the bird. The expressive lines and colors in the art say everything that needs to be said.
This is such a great way to teach children to recognize different emotions. I really like that many of the emotions are similar. Longing and Hoping are similar, but have a slightly different connotation from Expecting. At each step of the way, the parent bird is more and more certain that their little bird-child is coming. And then they show their care and love for their child until that little bird is ready to leave the nest and fly on their own.
I am delighted with this book! It’s so beautiful and meaningful!
