Summary

Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "A compass and a blue egg introduce this simple rhymed story as a young bird asks, When I fly away, which is best, North, South, East, or West? First she goes North, where everything is white (too cold); then South (too hot); then West. The swooping bird compares the four regions as she flits and flutters: She had flown to the North and the South and the West. But the East was home. Pizzoli's clean, crisp lines of digital art are coupled with white space to recreate Brown's lovely, previously unpublished story with new illustrations. Every full-color spread bursts with abundant nature and stark beauty. The bright splashes of vivid greens in the South contrast sharply with the blues and whites of the North and the sandy browns of the West. Activities, such as counting the three crickets in the tall grass and finding the little bird in the sycamore tree silhouetted in the night sky, will delight close observers in this stunning visual homage.--Gepson, Lolly Copyright 2016 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "This poetic tale from the author of Goodnight Moon is no less fresh for having lain unpublished for so long. A mother bird prepares her nestling to fly away to a home of her own, teaching her "to fly above and below the storms,/ and to glide on the strength of the wind." The young bird wonders, "When I fly away, which is best?/ North, South, East, or West?" Pizzoli (Good Night Owl) uses friendly paint-box hues for his plump birds and forest trees, superimposing simple, fuzzy-edged shapes like layers of tissue paper. The young bird's light blue wings, where they overlie her red body, turn dusky lilac; leaves turn darker green. The bird's search takes her to an icy blue North (too cold), a lush South (too hot) and a sunny West, "but the East was home," and when she returns to build a nest there, her life comes full circle as her nestlings repeat her words. Exploring both the urge to explore and the desire for the familiar, Brown's story speaks directly to longings at the core of childhood. Ages 4-8. Illustrator's agent: Steven Malk, Writers House.
