Reviews / Votes
"Capturing both the lyrical quality of Lyon's rhymed colloquy and a sense of how scary the wide world looks to the little bird, Coleman offers spare, delicately detailed views of an adult robin and her mottled offspring . . . A sensitive, loving variation on a perennial picture-book theme." -- Kirkus Reviews "A fresh breeze blows through this familiar story of nurture and independence, thanks to Lyon's emphatic metered verse, which offers structure to the avian ordeal, and Fizer Coleman's digital art, whose varied cinematic framing evokes layered textures of printmaking and watercolor." -- Publishers WeeklyMore details
