Description
For centuries birds and their magnificent ability to fly have inspired tales of mischief, mystery, and enchantment. In a collection that is as beautiful as it is timeless, award-winning author Howard Norman and Caldecott medalists Leo and Diane Dillon offer five bird stories from around the world--including one about an elusive bird that sings like a warthog and another about a much loved quail dying of thirst.
This glorious collaboration is the perfect gift for any family library, a book that children and parents alike will treasure.

Praise for The Girl Who Dreamed Only Geese:
"This collection is not only the handsomest gathering of Inuit folktales ever, but one that will bring readers as close to a living oral tradition as printed material can . . . A pleasure to see, to hold, and to read."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
