Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the different birds and note their various colors and sizes. They can also talk about the ways birds move, and what they sound like. What do you think it would be like to fly? Can you sing the songs you hear the birds make? If birds made marks in the skies, what would the sky look like? Where do birds go when the storms come? Parents and kids can look for the different kinds of birds they see on their walks or rides, or look for them in the clouds as the author suggests.
