<p>★— “A moody, poetic study of a brilliant yet oft-misunderstood creature.” — <i><b>Kirkus</b></i>, Starred Review</p>
★ — “Hypnotic… Remarkably effective in transforming a murder of crows from a fearsome- to fearful-seeming grouping, the creators also underscore the uniquely effective manner in which the birds work collectively to endure.” —<b><i> Publishers Weekly</i></b>, Starred Review
★— “This seemingly simple subject becomes a sweeping saga, brought beautifully to life by the lovely lyrical text that reads as elegantly and playfully as the crows themselves behave ... .An utterly enchanting and unusual exploration of avian behavior.” — <b><i>Booklist</i></b>, Starred Review
Caw‑Caaaaw! Crows are fascinating and resilient birds. What is the secret to their abundance and survival, especially throughout fall and winter seasons, when temperatures drop and crow-eating creatures lurk in the dark? I Am We unpacks these mysteries, exploring how and why crows roost together by the thousands and their reliance on cooperation and community.
Sharing a home in our urbanized ecosystem, crows are the ideal subject for learning about how animals interact with the environment and with each other. With dazzling color illustrations and irresistibly engaging and educational text, this beautiful, bewitching book will delight readers throughout the spooky season and all year round.
