From Namibia''s sociable weaver, constructor of huge multi-nest ''apartment blocks'' in the desert, to China''s bar-headed goose, a high-flying migrant that crosses the Himalayas twice a year, each has a remarkable story to tell. Ryuto Miyake''s exquisite illustrations grace every page, bringing to life this timely reminder of the ways in which birds need us, and we need them.
