Michael loves birds. Every morning he puts on his feathered suit and does his work on the farm, until one day an ominous black cloud appears. The stars fade away, and all his birds get sooty. When Michael discovers the black cloud is smoke from an artificial honey factory, he meets with Boss-Lady, and finds a sweet solution to the problem. First published in 1975, this classic picture book for readers 4 to 8 from the creator of Strega Nona here features refreshed artwork and a new cover.
