Beschreibung

In "Bird Children," Elizabeth Gordon crafts a whimsical yet poignant narrative that intertwines the innocence of childhood with the solemn realities of the adult world. Set against a backdrop that oscillates between vibrant youthful imagination and the starkness of life'Äôs challenges, the book employs a rich, lyrical prose style reminiscent of classic children'Äôs literature while subtly addressing themes of loss, longing, and the quest for belonging. Gordon'Äôs interlacing of imaginative storytelling with profound emotional depth creates a literary tapestry that resonates with both children and adults alike, offering layers of meaning to be explored upon each reading. Elizabeth Gordon, known for her intricate storytelling and empathetic character portrayals, drew from her experiences as a devoted educator and advocate for children'Äôs rights. Her belief in the transformative power of stories served as a foundation for creating "Bird Children," as she aimed to provide young readers with characters who mirror their own struggles and dreams. Gordon'Äôs deep understanding of childhood psychology and her passion for nurturing creativity allowed her to construct a narrative that is as enlightening as it is entertaining. This enchanting tale is highly recommended for readers seeking a book that straddles the line between fantasy and reality. "Bird Children" invites readers to remember the importance of imagination in facing life's adversities, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

INDEX

FOREWORD

Table of Contents

IRDS are only another expression of God’s love, and we are told that not even a sparrow shall fall to the ground without the notice of the Father.

Birds are poetry come to life and set to music. If you should stand at the edge of a forest at sundown and hear the birds singing their good-night songs, hear the sleepy little notes grow fainter and fainter until the silence came,—then when the dusk had deepened, you should hear the night birds begin their plaintive songs, you would realize what a different place our beautiful world would be without birds.

Even in great cities we have always some birds. The saucy little sparrow, who comes so boldly begging crumbs at your window, likes the cities best.

Only very thoughtless people, or those who do not understand, would harm or frighten a bird.

They are real little people, and I am sure that when you have come to know them you will love them as much as you have learned to love the Flower Children.

The publishers and the author have received so many letters from parents commending Flower Children for its instructive features, and from children, demanding “more” delightful play-mates, that they offer “Bird Brothers and Sisters,” believing that “The little playmates of the Flower Children” will prove as welcome visitors as “The Little Cousins of the Fields and Garden.”

The author and the artist wish to thank the children for their many expressions of interest and for their loyal support.

Table of Contents

SIR ROOSTER is a noisy chap,

He wakes you from your morning nap;

He sleeps but little all night through,

Crows at eleven, one and two.

11

MRS. HEN, the kind old dame,

Always dresses just the same;

She talks all day about her joys

And lays nice eggs for girls and boys.

12

SAID GUINEA HEN: “I like to eat

Three-cornered grains of nice buckwheat;

I only want good, simple food

To feed my Huffy little brood.”

DEAR little, downy GOSLING said:

“I can’t get learning through my head;

I really don’t see what’s the use—

When I grow up I’ll be a goose.”

14

SAID FATHER GOOSE: “I think I ’ll take

A stroll this morning to the lake.”

MOTHER GOOSE said: "Then I ’ll go, too,

And maybe take a swim with you.”

15

SAID YELLOW DUCKLING to his brother:

“Come on, let’s hide away from mother,”

But he replied: “Oh, dear me, No!

We’d better not, she’d worry so.”
