Celebrated Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt introduces Little Bird, a tiny crow with a big imagination and an even bigger heart, in this timeless story just right for the young middle grade audience. When a wild fisher cat attacks their nest, Little Bird and her flock are devastated.

Little Bird believes that she can find the lucky pendant and return it to the nest before disaster strikes. The other crows aren’t so sure - after all, Little Bird is so little and undependable and meek. But with the help of some new friends - including a very funny goat - Little Bird journeys through forests and over lakes and fields, challenging her wits and survival skills along the way. The crow who returns home is wiser, braver, kinder, and ready - at last - to spread her wings.
