• Sparrow Loves Birds
  Non-Fiction

  Murry Burgess, author; Tamisha Anthony, illustrator

  Sparrow – a brown-skinned, playful preschooler (with a strong resemblance to the author!) – sets out for a day of birding. She uses her strongest scientific tools – her own eyes, ears, and notebook – to watch and listen to the many types of birds around her. She begins to identify birds by:

  Color: Red – a cardinal!
  Song: “Cheer up! Cheer up”! – a robin!
  Movement: Flitting backward, forward, even upside down – a hummingbird!

  Join Sparrow for a backyard adventure and witness a scientific investigation underway. Be sure to grab your own notebook and crayons, as readers and listeners are encouraged to look at, listen to, and learn about birds, recording their own observations along the way.
