Birdsong by Julie Flett

5.0

Birdsong is about Katherena and her relationship with her neighbor Agnes. Katherena and her mother moved out to the countryside where there is no longer an ocean nearby. Katherena is lonely at first, so her mother encourages her to go talk to their elderly neighbor Agnes. Katherena and Agnes get along well and like to speak about art and creations. As winter comes, Agnes grows weak and does not have the energy to be outside anymore. Katherena says goodbye to her friend but continues to think of her often. I believe that this is a beautiful book, both the words and the illustrations. I would love to include this book in my future library in my classroom for students to read.
