Wings on the Wind

A great read for young children, this is the only compilation of bird poetry for children currently in print. Classic standards from Carl Sandburg, Margaret Wise Brown, Elizabeth Coatsworth, Eleanor Farjeon, Robert Louis Stevenson and others, cover many topics of birds and their relationship to humans and nature. Engagingly illustrated by Kate Kiesler, the oil paintings are as rich visually as the poems are in word and feeling. Ages 3-7.
