Bird Watch

Reach for this book when you want to slow down and reconnect your child with the natural world right outside their window. It is perfect for those quiet afternoons when a child's curiosity about the outdoors is peaking, or when they need a calming, meditative activity to transition from a busy day. Through Jane Yolen's evocative poetry, readers are invited to observe the hidden lives of birds, from the common sparrow to the majestic hawk. The collection emphasizes themes of wonder, patience, and environmental appreciation. It is ideally suited for children aged 6 to 10, bridging the gap between simple picture books and more complex nature studies. Parents will value how the book encourages mindfulness and sharpens a child's observational skills, turning a simple walk in the park into a rich, educational scavenger hunt for beauty and life.
