On the coldest winter night of the year, Little Berar slipped from the warmth of his mother's side and the safety of their snowdrift den. Tonight he would hunt with Kalle, the great polar bear. Little Bear had pestered his mother all morning to go hunting with Kalle, but her response came with a warning: "Kalle roams the hunting grounds where the earth touches the sky. You are too young to travel that far." Little Bear did not listen to his mother, it was his dream to be a great hunter, like Kalle. However, he had never left the den on a cold winter's night.

Have you ever had a plan of something so special and wonderful happening, only to have it not turn out quite how you thought it would? This true story will take you on the journey of a little girl and the birdhouse that she built with the hopes of enticing a little feathered family to make their home through the perfect circle doorway. When she realizes that, just because things didn't turn out how she thought they would, it does not mean that it wasn't an incredible experience, and something special to hold onto. This story for adults and children illustrates the notion that children learn what they live, as we all realize that life's experiences have something to teach us, and can shape the person we become. The vibrant watercolor paintings capture the imagination and take the reader through the wonderful experience of little birds building their nest, and the surprising and unexpected destination of the birdhouse. This is the perfect children's read aloud story for even the youngest of bird lovers. This is a children's interactive book, as the author included a construction page at the end of the story with directions for building your very own birdhouse. Your birdhouse could be featured on the publisher's website
