Little Bird

Celebrated Newbery
Medalist Cynthia Voigt introduces Little Bird, a tiny crow with a big
imagination and an even bigger heart, in this timeless novel just right for the young middle grade audience. 

When a wild fisher cat
attacks their nest, Little Bird and her flock are devastated. Not only does the
fisher cat harm the fledglings, but it also makes off with the shiny pendant
that the superstitious crows rely on for good luck. Little Bird believes that
she can find the lucky pendant and return it to the nest before disaster
strikes. The other crows aren’t so sure—after all, Little Bird is so little and
undependable and meek.

But with the help of some new friends—including a very
funny goat—Little Bird journeys through forests and over lakes and fields,
challenging her wits and survival skills along the way. The crow who returns
home is wiser, braver, kinder, and ready—at last—to spread her wings.
