Sweep Up the Sun 
Miss Tina recommends Sweep Up the Sun by Helen Frost and Rick Lieder 

 
Rick Lieder's beautiful photography collection of birds, some which nest just outside your window, is captivating.   The lines of Helen Frost's poem woven throughout the pages of this book describe the wondrous activity of the birds and the glory of nature. Adults and children will enjoy this delightful book as well as others that the two have collaborated on before and after the 2015 publishing of this book which include; Wake Up!, Among a Thousand Fireflies and Step Gently Out.
