Unwrapping Some Wonderful Ilustrations for You
The Book
This is a wordless picture book that allows imagination and conversation to flow. The story opens with a beautiful crane sitting in her nest protecting her beloved egg. She has a very happy look of contentment on her face. A vicious act of nature arrives that changes her world completely leaving her distraught with grief. Her solitary egg is blown away.
The heartbroken crane searches everywhere for her precious egg but it cannot be found. In her desperate search she stumbles upon another lonesome egg that is abandoned. Although it's not hers she rescues it and tends to it like it is.
What hatches is a great surprise to her and to the reader. Whatever can it be? Will she adopt it and they become a family unit regardless of their differences? When they finally fledge together they encounter other birds transporting a diverse variety babies pointing out that families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes all held together by the strong bonds of love.
The paper-cut illustrations are colourful, whimsical and full of emotions. The wordless book gives opportunity for oral vocabulary building, contextual skills, and predictions. I highly recommend it.
