Birdsong (A lush multi-layered die cut reveal celebrating Birds)

A sweet life lesson for toddlers and their adults: Each bird has its own song, but when they all sing together, they make a beautiful chorus.

Every page turn of this chunky board book reveals a new layer of Margarida Esteves’s bright, graphic depictions of a variety of bird species adding their own cheerful sounds start the day. This is a nice wake-up book for little ones—if you listen carefully, you might even hear some of the birdsongs from your window.

Even before the sun comes up, little birds begin to chirp.
Wrens, sparrows, and finches chitter, while starlings and cardinals join with a twitter.
Bluebirds share their morning greetings as other birds offer happy tweetings.
Robins and blackbirds sing along, adding their cheerful notes to the song.
This musical dawn chorus is sung by birds from the city to the forest;
each adding their very special sound heard from the treetops all around.
While every feathered friend sings in their own unique way, their voices joined together in birdsong create a beautiful start to the day.

This is a lovely ode to songbirds with a gentle message on how each person adds their beautiful voice to the world’s chorus.
