Bird
Review
By Book Links
In this picture book for older readers, spare free verse and clear mixed-media pictures tell the story of an African American boy who loves to draw. . . . Strickland creates spacious scenes of [Bird] beneath birds soaring high above the city streets, echoing what Bird discovers: that art can inspire, comfort, and elevate.
