Look, See the Bird! is a beautifully illustrated children's book which
seeks to not only promote curiosity in children about the natural world
around them, but also to establish the universal quality of having a
connection with nature. Look, See the Bird! follows children in a
variety of locations, all of whom are learning about local birds and
their habits.
Beginning with Ruben and his sister Maria, who have decided to spend
their day bird-watching in the coffee plants of their Nicaraguan farm,
the story wings towards locations as far removed as Alabama and Ontario,
lighting down briefly along the way as children the world over join with
Ruben and Maria in spirit, looking for birds in their own backyards.
Each time, the question is asked by one child to another: Look! See the
bird? And each time, the children are treated to the sight of a majestic
bird native to their home.
This unifying question joins the children on the page with the children
holding the book, inviting them to look outside, and see what they can
see!
