Just love!

 This beautiful book celebrates the birds that are all around us. The main character is a girl who loves birds. The book begins with birds sitting on lines with ribbons of their names wrapped around their necks. There is a page spread about nests which reminds me of the bird nests built around the library under our security cameras! The change of seasons is marked by migration (fall) and then winter is shown as a time that bird feeding can be a great hobby! The ending is perfect where we see the girl dreaming about birds and dreaming about flying (my favorite dream!).
Thanks to publisher HarperCollins for permission to read this aloud during Covid year 2021, on video, for a classroom.

Beautiful for this day!

This is a beautiful book. I love the play on words in the title...rather than opposites attract it is "opposites abstract". The spreads are beautiful and thought provoking. I love abstract art so I clearly recognize the opposites. I wonder how this would work as a read aloud? My favorite spread is inclusion and exclusion. Excellent!
Mo Willems worked on this during 2020. It is a testament to the fact that the arts always save us! And art can be created amid chaotic, uncertain times. We NEED it! Thank you Mo Willems!
