One day, the children find a bird lying on its side with its eyes closed and no heartbeat. They are very sorry, so they decide to say good-bye. In the park, they dig a hole for the bird and cover it with warm sweet-ferns and flowers. Finally, they sing sweet songs to send the little bird on its way.
A beautiful book to share with children beginning to grapple with loss.
Text originally published in 1938 by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.
When they find a dead bird, a group of children bury it in the woods, sing a song to it, and put flowers on the grave.
Ages 4-8.
