I love wordless books, especially as a therapist working with non-English speakers. It was shocking to me how emotionally invested I became in this picture book - to the point that I was truly crying at the end, tears rolling down my cheeks. This is a beautiful story of a boy who is alone, finds joy, suffers great loss, and discovers hope through his grief. Such amazing themes of loss and resiliency, and an amazing tool for a therapist!

The most powerful picture story. I use it in the classroom for teacher candidates to appreciate the influence books have on students. It can be used in a variety of lessons, extended to varied age groups and abilities groups, and is profound in its impact. So beautifully done. Excellent !

Religious ending - wordless book- well illustrated

It was different- a well illustrated wordless book but somewhat religious in nature- would not recommend for a public school

NOT an appropriate book for little ones

My goodness, what a depressing book for very young children. We normally LOVE Bob Staake books and were eager to check Bluebird out from the library.Read more

Pretty book, great story, and a total rip off of The Red Balloon. Almost shot for shot.

Returned this (at a loss, since I had to pay for shipping to receive and return), but this book was horrible. Bought it for my 4 year old daughter.

Amazon Customer

Can a book with no words capture such strong feelings as those felt when you are most happy or most sad? After reading Bluebird, by Bob Staake, I believe the answer is yes.Read more
