From the publisher

A whimsical picture book that explains how to make friends with a bird that is sure to delight young nature lovers. If you want to make friends with the smallest bird . . .You’ll need to look small yourself. Crouch down close to the ground like an itty-bitty frog.But don’t jump because you might scare him. And once the bird can see you mean him no harm, do all the things that any good friend would do: Show him your secret tree house. Give him snacks. Sing him a song. And if you think he’s ready, reach out to see if he’ll let you hold him. You’ll need to keep your hand open so he can fly away as all birds do–but don’t worry, when the smallest bird makes a friend as good as you, he will always come back to visit. From acclaimed illustrator Sarah Hwang and debut author Joy Belin comes a playful invitation into one small bird’s not-so-small world. Charmingly rendered in Sarah’s warm, playful art style, this picture book speaks to children’s ability to see the ordinary in new and exciting ways. Hand this sweet story to backyard adventurers and imaginative young nature-lovers who love to spread their creative wings.
