Birds by Kevin Henkes


Henkes, Kevin Birds pgs. 32 HarperCollins Language~G, Sexual Content~G; Violence~G

In this charming picture book, Henkes tells us about birds in a unique way. This book discusses colors, like what the sky would look like if birds left contrails of their color when they flew. Illustrator Laura Dronzek’s simple yet stunning images blend effortlessly with the text. Her simple illustrations may encourage young artists to try their hand at illustrations. This will make an excellent addition to any school library.
