When his Papa accidentally drops lunch, Little Bird hears a new word: blark! The only problem is, "blark" isn't a very nice word, and when Little Bird shares his discovery, he upsets his friends Frog, Moose, Ladybug, and Turtle. With the help of Papa Bird, maybe Little Bird will learn another new word—one that will make things all better. With humor and sensitivity, Jacob Grant addresses a challenging topic for readers 4 to 7 and their parents, and he uses charcoal and digital media to bring these childlike woodland creatures to life.
