Illustrated by
Rachel Hudson.
A fictional American Crow named Oki is the focus of Savage’s introduction to the species. A dense text follows along as Oki hatches, learns to fly and find food, ventures away from her nest to meet new birds, and finally has hatchlings of her own. Detailed crow facts are incorporated in a natural way; the information is accompanied by flat illustrations (final art unseen). An author’s note, glossary, resources, and an index (unseen) are appended.
