Birds Sing Their Words

In Birds Sing Their Words, two young children notice the birds outdoors and, together with an adult, embark on a walk through their neighborhood. They observe a variety of birds along the way, listening to their calls and noticing how their own voices parallel the many songs that birds sing. This book is part of the Outside Our Window Board Book series, which encourages children—especially those in urban environments—to explore, protect, and delight in nature. Each book in the series focuses on one feature of the natural world and one sense. There is so much to learn from nature, right Outside Our Window.

Awaken young children to the sounds birds make, and to their own unique voices.

In Birds Sing Their Words, two young children, guided by an adult, take a springtime walk through a city neighborhood, noticing how birds communicate. The sounds of fee-bee and per-chick-a-ree are all around them—alone, in chorus, or call-and-response style. The children learn that our own diverse voices parallel the many songs that birds sing.

Birds Sing Their Words:

• Shows that children can connect with nature and its important lessons, no matter where they live
• Engages young children in reflecting on the natural world
• Includes activity ideas to engage children in learning about birds in their own neighborhoods
