You Nest Here With Me
by Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple, Illustrated by Melissa Sweet
From Boyds Mills Press:
With rhyming text, this soothing bedtime book is an ode to baby birds everywhere and sleepy children home safe in their own beds. As a mother describes to her child how many species of birds nest, from pigeons on concrete ledges to owls in oak tree boles to swallows above barn doors. The soothing refrain of “you nest here with me” eases her little one and readers alike to slumber. Combining their poetic writing and their love of birding, mother and daughter Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple have written what is sure to become a bedtime classic.
My five-year-old really enjoyed this book. It also has an afterword that gives additional information on the included birds.
