"An imaginative and original depiction of one of life's everyday
miracles." -- KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
From award-winning and NY Times bestselling children's and beloved
birder, Jane Yolen, and award-winning illustrator, Bob Marstall,
comes On Bird Hill the first in a series created for bird-lovers
and dreamers alike!
On Bird Hill is first in a new Jane Yolen series developed for the
Cornell Lab, the world's leading authority on bird's. Loosely based on
"The Green Grass Grew All Around," a nursery rhyme first published as a
song in 1912, this whimsical version follows a boy and his dog as they
find a bird in a nest on a hill in a strange valley.
This beautiful and enchanting story is perfect for young minds taking
flight.
