Rob Ryan's papercut prose is so exquisitely intricate, it begs closer examination—and always captures a lingering eye. The story Ryan tells in this jacketed hardcover is a celebration of love and family just as heartfelt as it is visually arresting: two songbirds eagerly anticipate the arrival of their first child, and as they tend to their nest, they can't help but worry about becoming parents. It's the generosity and support of their avian friends and neighbors that confirms the world awaiting their unborn chick is indeed full of kindness. Brimming with poetic verse, each page is a work of art that will charm new parents and longtime fans of Ryan's evocative imagery.

This book has a very simple and sweet plot line

This is my second book by Rob Ryan, and his illustrations are gorgeous. This book has a very simple and sweet plot line, and would be great to read with kids, or keep around if you love paper cut art.

Loved this adventure story from the mother bird's perspective. Rob Ryan is a genius with paper and I only wish I could have seen this in person when he was cutting it out!

A timeless story.
Somehow old fashioned in its beauty and innocence.
Paper cuts is way through the telling and illustration of this story in a spellbinding heart-level romp of playful perfection.

I was under the impression that I was receiving a new item but this book's beautiful dust jacket arrived bent and torn along the edges. Very disappointed.

This book quickly became one of my favorites. Truly a story you can share with young and old. And the imagery takes my breath away.
