Tilbury House,U.S. Waiting for a Warbler
Book Synopsis Short listed for the Green Earth book awardTrade Review"Waiting for a Warbler is perfect for young birdwatchers and nature lovers. They will likely want to return to it again and again." -- Roberta - Wrapped in Foil"In early spring, Owen and his younger sister, Nora, are outdoors talking about migratory birds in general and watching for her favorite, the cerulean warbler, in particular. The locale shifts from the U.S. or Canada to the Yucatán Peninsula, where many bird species, and one cerulean warbler male in particular, gather and prepare to migrate northward. The narrative traces the path of these birds as they make their way in a tiring migration that includes a perilous 18-hourflight over the Gulf of Mexico. Later, Owen and his family often watch two cerulean warblers as they arrive in spring, nest in a tall backyard tree, hunt for insects, and raise their young. A wildlife painter, Brooks illustrates a variety of subjects skillfully, from close-ups of individual birds to a stormy seascape. The book’s extensive back matter introduces novices to bird-watching and suggests ways of protecting birds. Written with a friendly tone, the text incorporates more facts than most fictional picture books. For kids who enjoy observing birds, here’s an informative introduction to bird-watching." -- Carolyn Phelan - Booklist" Mr. Collard, a prolific writer whose books often have a scientific bent, is also an avid birder. He and his son have a blog, Father Son Birding, and the book Warblers and Woodpeckers is based on their adventures. In this book, illustrated in soft, nature tinted watercolors, we meet Owen and Nora, who are looking forward to seeing a cerulean warbler in their yard in the spring. They have made their yard an inviting place for the birds to visit, planting native trees and plants so that the birds will have enough insects to eat and places to stay. We also see the migration of the birds from the tropical forests to the US. When a storm threatens the Gulf of Mexico, the children worry that this might cause harm to many of the birds during their travels. Luckily, the cerulean warbler and other birds make it through, and Owen and Nora are able to observe them and take notes in their nature journals. End notes include information on birding, ways to help protect birds, and resource lists that include books and websites. Like his other excellent titles, Hopping Ahead of Climate Change: Snowshoe Hares, Science and Survival, Insects: The Most Fun Bug Book Ever, and Fire Birds, Mr. Collard uses his talents to combine fiction with lots of information about environmental issues. This picture book is for younger readers than most of his books, but still presents information in a way that is easy to grasp. I'm a big proponent of teaching children about nature from a very young age; I have a bee garden in my library and have worked with the local parks department to donate native trees to the park behind my house. It's good to see a picture book that espouses environmental responsibility in such an engaging way.
