This was lovely and somehow made me sad all at the same time.
"And feel your slowly beating heart fill with a kind of sadness, a kind of happiness. For this is when you will know that you have really made a bird."

Probably the most beautiful picture book I have seen. The words and the pictures come together seamlessly to create something magical.

weird but cool. I like the detailed biological illustrations in pencil matched with the rich toned of the other pieces of illustration. I think the negative space in this book builds tension and does an interesting part of the storytelling.

It is fine. I categorize books like these as "technically a children's book, but written with adults in mind."

3.5 stars. Gorgeous illustrations and a thoughtful examination of the creative process - but I am not sure how many students will "get" this. I didn't connect with this one as much as I expected from all the rave reviews I had seen.
