Book Description
The Lone Bird is a story about a sweet bird that is treated meanly by other birds as they are flying across the sky, leaving her alone and lonely. The Lone Bird is sad and feels rejected and very confused. She doesn't understand why the other birds are mean to her! However, on her journey through the sky she hears a voice that speaks to her and cheers her up. Her sadness turns to joy as she realizes that she is not alone and that she has done the right thing by not following the mean birds. She learns that if she stays positive and does the right thing she will be okay and she'll be able to find other positive and friendly birds like herself to play and have fun with. She feels hopeful as she flies across the sky, singing and twirling blissfully. The illustrations are beautiful and inviting. As the Lone Bird travels across the sky learning about life, the reader gets to fly alongside her and sees the luscious green rolling hills and the brilliant blue skies. The journey takes place in the beauty and comfort of the countryside where the many farm animals and other critters are grazing in the fields and enjoying each other.

Book Description
Until recently, little was known about the lives of songbirds during their travels from autumn until spring. Now scientists have documented mass migrations over the Gulf of Mexico, identified the voices of migrants in the night sky, and showed how songbirds navigate using stars, polarized light, and magnetic fields. Miyoko Chu explores the intricacies underlying the ebb and flow of migration, the cycle of seasons, and the interconnectedness between distant places. Songbird Journeys pays homage to the wonder and beauty of songbirds while revealing the remarkable lives of migratory birds and the scientific quest to answer age-old questions about where songbirds go, how they get there, and what they do in the far-flung places they inhabit throughout the year.

Book Description
AøNative rereading of both British Romanticism and mainstream Euro-American ecocriticism, this cross-cultural transatlantic study of literary imaginings about birds sets the agenda for a more sophisticated and nuanced ecocriticism. Lakota critic Thomas C. Gannon explores how poets and nature writersøin Britain and Native America have incorporated birds into their writings. He discerns an evolution in humankind?s representations?and attitudes toward?other species by examining the avian images and tropes in British Romantic and Native American literatures, and by considering how such literary treatment succeeds from an ecological or animal-rights perspective. ø Such depictions, Gannon argues, reveal much about underlying cultural and historical relationships with the Other?whether other species or other peoples. He elucidates the changing interconnections between birds and humans in British Romanticism from Cowper to Clare, with particular attention to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Keats. Gannon then considers how birds are imagined by Native writers, including early Lakota authors and contemporary poets such as Linda Hogan and Joy Harjo. Ultimately he shows how the sensitive and far-reaching connections with nature forged by Native American writers encourage a more holistic reimagining of humankind?s relationship to other animals.
