Illustrated by
Maddy McClellan.
A princess, her best friend, and a small bird love language. When her friend moves away, the princess's sadness affects all the birds in the garden. Although the larger birds try to help, it's the smallest one who is best able to comfort her with his collected words promising friendship and cheer. Colorful mixed-media illustrations nicely incorporate the words and their moods.
