Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Mother Bird is looking after her baby bird in the forest, when a huge storm scatters her nest. Try as she might, she just can't give him the protection he needs. She faces a choice: continue to struggle on her own, or give her precious baby bird to another family who can care for him in their strong, secure nest.
In this classic adoption picture book for children, common issues in adoption are addressed--from the enduring force of a birth parent's love and contact post-adoption to the importance of nurturing an adopted child in his or her new environment. It is a timeless and enduring tale of sacrifice, wisdom and love.
This book is ideal for reading aloud with adopted children aged 5-10 and their siblings, whether at home or in school.
Originally published in 1986 by Perspectives Press, revised edition published in 1996.
