Lots of love for Crowbar by Jean Craighead George Lots of love for Crowbar by Jean Craighead George with Luke and Twig George, illustrated by Wendell Minor (HarperCollins, 2021).

๐Ÿชถ My Montana students had a lot to say about this book, and lots of stories to tell of finding baby birds themselves! This beautifully illustrated book is based on a real crow raised by the authors. The backmatter contains helpful information on what to do it you find a bird that cannot fly, and references to crow videos that amazed my students!

โญ๏ธ This book is nominated for the Montana Treasure State Picture Book Award.

What picture books have your students been enjoying?
