About this book
Snow has covered the Blackbird's feeding grounds, and his first winter leaves him cold, hungry and thoroughly out of sorts. A cheerful Robin offers conversation and song, explaining the strange white flakes that have changed the familiar English landscape. Hannah Jane Locker-Lampson gives the birds distinct voices in this children's story, arranged in four seasonal chapters called chirps.
Later, the Blackbird and his wife discover how much work five hungry nestlings require. Their repeated flights for worms and insects turn family life into a busy comedy, while the children Willie and Alice watch the nest with eager curiosity. The changing seasons link small incidents in the garden with the birds' needs and habits.
