Renata is helping her father remodel their bathroom. Her father cuts a hole for the new window and when Renata returns in the morning, a wren family has taken over a bathroom shelf. Renata realizes the birds are like carpenters as they make a cozy home for their babies. All remodeling is halted for a few weeks as Renata watches the baby wrens hatch and learn to fly. Renata uses her carpenter skills to save the babies from harm. 

 What a heartwarming way to teach children about the nesting patterns of birds! You will fall in love with the wren family just as Renata did.
