A sweet little book with sweet little illustrations, heavy handed morals (which are all about friendship so ITS FINE), and also IMMEDIATE DEATH. OFTEN THERE IS DEATH. (I don't know why it surprises me anymore that there is death in children's books. Honestly I think it's a good thing, kids need to learn about hard stuff in safe environments.) This story is loosely rooted in historical events, specifically Audubon, but there isn't much of a plot. The illustrations really carry this story, and Celeste is such a snugglebug
