(1) PS Illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon. A brief paragraph defines a murmuration ("a single-seeming mass [of birds] that performs coordinated acrobatic dances in the sky"), then a counting-book frame illustrates one composed of starlings. Hand-drawn and digital illustrations, mostly focused on the rooftops and the bird's-eye views, convey a warm, colorful afternoon in a community of people and pets. This story and its inspiring sky-set dance can elicit new appreciation for the natural world.
