Hawks Kettle, Puffins Wheel

A lyrical celebration of the fascinating ways birds move through the air.

---

For each of twelve birds from around the world, a captivating poem describes the creature's distinctive movement and the special word associated with that movement, from geese who skein and puffins who wheel, to crows who mob and starlings who murmurate. The evocative language conveys the beauty of each bird and describes the sights and sounds of how each one makes its own unmistakable way in the world. Illustrator Mark Hoffmann captures the animals with bold, highly engaging artwork that makes this book a visual standout among traditional nature books.
