Editorial : From School Library Journal Gr 2–4—The Dutch illustrator uses brightly colored birds painted on black pages to present pictorially various parental actions and feelings—yearning, expecting, encouraging, listening, etc. This graphically interesting and beautiful book will have special appeal to adults, especially those who will recognize and cherish the different stages of parenthood, but the concepts and ideas portrayed are often too abstract and/or mature for young children, the presumed intended audience. Yet in the hands of a patient adult who enjoys discussing art with kids, the book could be used to encourage children to explore the stunning illustration and the handwritten (and decorated) text as well as the concepts included in single words on a page, save for the final "letting go."—Maralita L.
