(1) PS Illustrated by Laura Dronzek. In the voice of a young child, Henkes muses on birds, their colors and sizes, their movements and mysteries. Dronzek's acrylic paintings, one part naive, one part William Steig, focus and expand the plain, poetic text. In the final pages we meet our narrator, joining a robin in song. We have moved from bird watching through bird wondering to bird being.
