Found throughout North America and celebrated as one of the first signs of spring, robins are among the most familiar and beloved of all birds, but there's a lot about them that most people don't know. In this visually stunning picture book for readers 6 to 9 and bird watchers of all ages that features comic-book panels combined with painterly illustrations, Eileen Christelow tells the story of two young robins' first year—a tale intertwined with the changing of the seasons—and reveals plenty of little-known facts about this industrious bird. The book also includes the author's own reminiscences about her experiences with robins, plus a glossary and sources for further research.
