OverviewUn jour, � la fin de l'hiver, un petit oiseau est sorti et a d�couvert que le monde �tait devenu silencieux. Les rues �taient vides et les terrains de jeux, silencieux. Perplexe, mais d�termin�, un oiseau explore la ville � la recherche d'un endroit appropri� pour nicher. Les r�sidents d'un immeuble d'habitation le remarquent qui se repose dans un arbre tout pr�s et sont r�confort�s par son chant. En l'observant par leurs fen�tres, ils oublient leur quotidien et prennent le temps d'appr�cier les merveilles de la nature. L'oiseau choisit de s'installer pour de bon dans cette communaut� et il y fait son nid, un acte de r�silience et d'espoir qui inspire les humains � sortir eux aussi et leur rappelle que la nature a son propre rythme, que les saisons changent et que la vie continue. Encore une fois. Ce livre d'images sans texte est une contemplation pleine d'espoir de nos liens avec la nature et de la joie qu'elle nous procure, m�me dans des p�riodes difficiles.

Table of ContentsReviews"""The charm of this wordless book is in the gouache, watercolor, and digital art through which the story and changing seasons unfold, and in the way it deftly captures the simple joy that a bird--and nature--offers young and old alike.""-- ""Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison"" ★""A very wise book, speaking volumes...Share this at story hours, or hand it to the child struggling to read; this communicates essential truths without a word. Marvelous."" -- ""School Library Journal, starred review"" ★""This sweet, understated story is wordless--a perfect way to tell it, as it requires youngsters to relate to the illustrations in a unique, profoundly personal way...Refreshing, beautiful, moving, and meaningful."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews, starred review"" ★""With cinematic fluidity, Dion's marvellous watercolor, gouache, and digital illustrations evocatively convey Singh's thoughtful wordless narrative...This multilayered wordless picture book has much to say about nature, renewal, and resiliency."" -- ""Booklist, starred review"" ""Great for encouraging conversation...The reciprocal relationship between the bird and the residents shows the comfort nature and connection can bring...A cute, simple, book with an inspiring message."" -- ""CM: Canadian Review of Materials"" ""Illustrations are bursting with spring...This thoughtful interpretation of the change of season and of human connection presents a variety of characters to follow and details to consider, while the wordless aspect provides the necessary space to enjoy the book slowly and thoroughly."" -- ""The Horn Book"" ""This book would be a good addition to a preschool or kindergarten class where children could use the illustrations to tell their own versions of the story. Older grade school students could use the book as a writing prompt to write and share the story of the robin. This book is also a great starting point to discuss how it feels to be lonely, especially during the winter, and how wonderful it is to be outside again in the spring."" -- ""Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)""" Author InformationRina Singh is an award-winning children's author who is drawn to real-life stories about the environment and social justice.
