Bookroo's summary
In a cozy birdhouse, creatures like wasps, chipmunks, and chickadees find refuge. As seasons change, the birdhouse observes their struggles and triumphs. With the last chickadee gone, it wonders who will call it home next. Discover the stories of its inhabitants and the mysteries of nature's cycle.
From the publisher
Many creatures–from wasps, to messy chipmunks, to a family of chickadees–take shelter in the birdhouse. As the months and seasons pass, the birdhouse tells the story of each of its dwellers: their comings and goings, the nests they build, and the challenges they face. After a year has passed and the last of the baby chickadees has flown away, the birdhouse wonders, Who will move in next?
