WINNER of Mass Books Early Reader Must Reads/Picture Books!
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.
35% of the net proceeds from every Cornell Lab Publishing Group book purchase will support projects such as children's educational and community programs.
