A lovely ode to the wonder of birds and friendship found, and to quiet and listening. We need to teach our children quietness and listening skills, especially in nature. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For the real Janet Grenzke and her partner, Don Kroodsma, and of course, for Heidi. -J.Y.

For my bird boy. -A.W.

First words

Jon walked down the street quietly.

Quotations

Jon may not have been talking, but he sure was listening.

And then she laughed, a sound bubbly as a wren's song.

Then Jon, who rarely talked, and Janet, who always listened, spent hours jabbering with one another, about nights and nightjars, about nests and nestlings, about hoots and calls, about feathers and wings.
