Based on the true story of a girl and the crows in her backyard, this adventure explores the mysteries of friendship across species. Creative nonfiction at its best by bestselling creators Gideon Sterer and Shadra Strickland.
Every day, Gabi left gifts.
Seeds. Bits of toast. Peanuts.
Every day, the crows noticed.
Soon, they left their own gifts in return . . .
and what began with a breadcrumb became a friendship.
This is the true and astonishing story of a young girl,
a flock of clever crows, and the tiny treasures they traded—
gleaming beads, polished sea-glass, and
the most precious of all: trust.
Perfect for:
- Classroom and at-home storytime
- Animal lovers
- Backyard birders of all ages
