Unable to fly, the nightingale worries about how to prepare for weather it's never had to experience before. Luckily, the forest animals who are used to frosty conditions help the nightingale navigate the cold as its wing heals. Though the unfamiliar season proves challenging, and even a little scary at times, the nightingale discovers there's beauty to be found in even the harshest weather--and with that comes newfound gratitude for the return of spring. Kate Banks weaves a story of perseverance and kindness, brought beautifully to life by Suzie Mason's stunning artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Banks\u003c\/b\u003e (1960-2024) was the award-winning author of more than forty books for children and young adults, including \u003ci\u003eLion Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Lauren Tobia, \u003ci\u003eNoah Builds an Ark\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by John Rocco, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner \u003ci\u003eAnd If the Moon Could Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzie Mason\u003c\/b\u003e enjoys drawing lovely things--from animals to fairies to multicolored pumpkins--and using bright colors to create happy artwork.
