Crow Call by Lois Lowry
Lowry (The Giver, Number the Stars) released her first picture book last week (illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline). Crow Call is an autobiographical story of Lois (Liz) as a young girl, her father just returned home from WWII. He's been gone so long she hardly knows him, and in this early morning adventure they set out to reconnect. This book is absolutely lovely. It's as quiet as its country morning setting, and envelopes the reader in its warmth, wrapping us up in its bright woolen shirt. I hugged it when I finished reading it. =)
Highly recommended - ages 4-up
