The Bird Hous is a delightful story for the ages 4-8 group and a good bedtime story.

Storyline: a young girl, alone without a home or family, comes across an amazing sight as she wanders through the woods. Cardinals, orioles, swallows, and wrens fill the sky above a bright blue house by the river. Sparrows sit on the windowsills,  And a great barred owl is roosting above the front door.

The girl is fascinated.  and cautiously, secretly, she returns to the bird house day after day.

And then one day, without warning, the birds take flight and find a way to change the girl's life forever.

A modern day fairy tale about loss, discovery, and the healing power of the natural world.

Water color style illustrations. Very colorful in a soft applealing way.
