"This is a book dedicated to birds. The author has composed an ode to their song, their special habits, their flight, and their beauty. The cuckoo, the swallow, the sparrow, the hummingbird, and the yellowthroat, among others, fly and zoom from page to page on the gusts of wind that boost their flight. The happy verses of the poems collected here represent the brilliantly colored feathers of these beautiful creatures."
