ISBN: 9781587171222.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We picked and we picked and we picked and we picked...\" From dawn to dusk, a little girl harvests cotton with her family during the sweltering crop season. Imagining her way through the endless day, she wishes she could be anyone else-from a snake curved up and cool to a buzzard going round and round in the sky. Then at last, sunset approaches and a special treat awaits.\nPolly Greenbergs rhythmic, easy-to-read text and Alikis striking sun-soaked illustrations together make an unforgettable tale-part story, part song, and all poetry. Though based on a sharecroppers childhood memory from generations ago, this timeless story reflects everyones wish to escape...and to be as free as a bird. First published in 1968, it is a powerful today as the day it was first told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44977710563381,"sku":"ByrdShop_1587171228","price":59.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781587171222_d20f7add-9810-42df-a03b-32e6b24773d9.jpg?v=1778898039","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/oh-lord-i-wish-i-was-a-buzzard-9781587171222","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
