A poetic text and wonderfully intimate photographs follow a newborn
sandhill crane as it takes its first steps into the world.
Will my legs hold me?
What if I fall?
Peek in as a sandhill crane hatchling makes its first wobbly stand and
takes its first steps alongside its brother. With their parents close
by, they flap their wings and dance before enjoying a buggy treat.
Someday they will fly with the majestic cranes overhead, but for now,
Mama's soft feathers beckon. With a lyrical narrative and lovely photo
illustrations, this latest venture from an acclaimed creative team makes
a perfect new baby gift -- and will appeal to bird lovers, too.
