A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Harvest Birds/ Los pajaros de la cosecha (Paperback)

This book is about a boy named Juan Zanate.His parents died.He had only two brothers .They were workers. Juan would always go to a tree with the birds, and he would think.Once, he told a guy named Tobias if he could work with him and Tobias said no.So, he went to an old man named Tata to ask if he could work with him and, Tata said yes.Juan was happy.I think this book it's kind of nice because it's about this guy that nobody like's.
