BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

Every spring Iris returns to the forest where she was born. She hunts insects and enjoys the cherry trees. Now it is time to fly south for the winter. Iris asks the other birds, " What happens to the forest while we are gone?" No one knows. Iris decides to stay and see. When the snow falls, Iris is freezing and has nothing to eat. How will she ever survive until spring?
The Swallow Who Stayed is a beautifully illustrated story about having the courage to be different, and how we need to create friendships to help us succeed.
