- Book Intro
-
A story that reminds the reader of how precious nature is. It begins with a birdhouse, installed so that more bird songs can be heard. Birds in the forest raise baby birds just like humans do. They protect the forest by eating bugs that are harmful to trees. While the birdhouse is not a nest that the birds make themselves, it tells a story about people who wish to restore and return the environment that they have damaged.
This picture book tells a beautiful story about the dreams of living happily with nature while embracing animals who have lost their homes and people who want to protect nature.
