Description

This is a true story of two unusual individuals: County, a robin, who chose to share her life with a human, and Linda Johns, an artist, who was happy to accommodate her. Through her delightful and descriptive narrative, Johns draws us into the mysterious realm of an intelligent and responsive creature. Throughout the harrowing experiences of bug-collecting, nest-building, egg-swapping, and parenting, we begin to share with the author a growing respect for the resourcefulness of these tiny creatures and our commonality with them in the remarkable process called life.
