When she recreates the jay's various calls, you know you are hearing the closest human approximation of the sound the text attempts to convey. Good thing she also does justice to the rest of text.

This is one of the most beautiful and uplifting books I've read. The illustrations are lovely and the stories of her interactions with all different types of birds are very captivating, informative, and feel-good.
This lovely book has thoroughly changed my perception of Blue Jay's. The intimate tale of raising Jemima from chick to adult plucks all the right heartstrings and makes the visits to my feeder from these beautiful corvid's all the more magical.

As an aside, another of her titles, "The Bluebird Effect," is one of my all-time favorite books, and I have given it as gifts to many art + nature lovers.
