Description
“A wonderful way to introduce young readers to the natural world that lurks just outside their windows.”
—Globe Books
Will Franny ever prove to her dad that crows and kids can be friends?
Franny has a new friend—a crow who brings her presents in its beak. Like a red button! And a silver heart! Franny’s dad doesn’t believe her. He says crows and kids can’t be friends. But Franny knows better. How will Franny prove her new playmate is real? And what will the crafty crow bring next?
Award-winning author Candace Savage, whose crow expertise is lauded in popular books such as Bird Brains, motivates families to be present when exploring parks, backyards, balconies, city streets, beaches, and skies.
Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute
