Go, Crow

About this book

This majestic yet simple picture book follows a crow's flight from dawn to dusk, inspiring readers to observe and experience the world from a bird's-eye view. Perched in a tree, a crow waits in anticipation, eyes alert and ready. As dawn breaks, the crow sets off! But where is she headed? Strong winds blow, but the crow flows with ease. She glides and swoops low, until she comes to a field where food grows. But instead of kindness, she finds anger and a harsh NO! However, in a beautiful display of resilience, she flies back to her nest in an ending that can only be described as tender and breathtaking. Through sparse text limited to one word per spread, and luminous illustrations, author-illustrator Tjitske Kamphuis invites readers to journey through a day in the life of a crow, leading up to a surprise reveal, in this gorgeous read-aloud.
