Welcome Brown Bird

About this book

Poetic text and stunning paintings tell the story of a wood thrush that makes the long migration between New England and Central America. At each end of the journey is a boy who watches and waits protecting the birds nesting place until it returns. Neither boy knows that his love of the thrushs sweet song links him--like a brother--to another boy across the world a boy who doesnt even speak the same language. Includes an authors note that details wood thrush migration and habitat protection.
