<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in 1938 by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>This <em>New York Times </em>Best Illustrated Book is a heartwarming classic from the author of <em>Goodnight Moon</em> and <em>The Runaway Bunny</em>, with stunning, evocative art by #1 <em>New York Times </em>bestselling and multiple-award-winning illustrator Christian Robinson (<em>You Matter</em> and <em>Last Stop on Market Street</em>). </strong></p><p>This classic picture book by beloved children's book author Margaret Wise Brown is gorgeously reillustrated for a contemporary audience by the critically acclaimed, Caldecott Honor winning illustrator Christian Robinson.</p><p>One day, the children find a bird lying on its side with its eyes closed and no heartbeat. They are very sorry, so they decide to say good-bye. In the park, they dig a hole for the bird and cover it with warm sweet-ferns and flowers. Finally, they sing sweet songs to send the little bird on its way.</p><p>A beautiful book to share with children beginning to grapple with loss.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Brown takes a direct approach to a difficult subject, suggesting how community rituals provide solace. Robinson concludes with a wide-angle view of growing trees and the children flying a kite, implying a return to carefree fun and putting a poignant distance between the tiny figures and readers."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Robinson stays true to the intent of the original text and illustrations but elegantly improves upon it with cinematic storytelling."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Robinson thoughtfully pays homage to his predecessor while bringing something new to the telling...a lovely book befitting its lineage."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Robinson's sensitive new mixed-media art, with its personality-rich quartet of young people...and its city-park setting, elicits the children's deeply felt emotions and their actions to honor the bird's memory."--Horn Book Magazine<br><br>"The original text is timeless, and the modern, cheerful illustrations will help resurrect this classic for a new generation of readers."--ALA Booklist<br>
