the eggs begin to hatch

It‘s an ideal choice for parents and educators looking for a gentle, reflective story about the journey of growing up, making it a must-have for young readers and nature lovers alike. Highly recommended.

The story follows a bird as it builds its nest, nurtures its young, and prepares to leave the safety of its home. The narrative is simple but rich with meaning, allowing readers to reflect on the universal experience of growing up, leaving home, and finding independence. Cole‘s illustrations are lush and detailed, capturing the tenderness of the bird‘s journey while also showcasing the beauty of the natural world.

“Their wings take them anywhere they want to go.“

I would use this book in my classroom as a way to talk about the lives of different animals. It allows the incorporation of science into literature. You can also include different instruction on migration, and maybe compare and contrast with other animals.

Nesting is a nonfiction book published in the year of 2020. It follows the life of a robin. It discusses making nests, laying eggs, being parents, and what their days look like as a family. I like how this book incorporates so many different aspects of a robin's life.

“The nest is a home, a place for resting, a place to grow.“
