A slow story of a boy who falls in love with a girl who loves birds. No major drama or issues, but a little on the "blah" side for me.

I must confess that this title thoroughly intrigued me. Prior to reading it, I admit that I was extremely curious about the story. I knew there would be cause for the use of imagination, and I was certain that creative design would be touched upon in some way. What I realized, as I read, is that the author made that which seemed to be invisible visible, in a most unique way. Not only were birds featured, but also the heart was in the spotlight.

يعني، أفهم القصة، حلوة شوي. لكن تغيير طبيعتك بالكامل من أجل أحدهم كي يبادلك الإعجاب— عفوًا، أقصد كي يلاحظك فحسب، هذا ليس شيئًا أود للأطفال أن يصدقوه ويؤمنوا به. إذا احسست للحظة بأنك بحاجة إلى تغيير شخصك لأجل أن يراك الطرف الأخر، إمّا انك بحاجة إلى تحسين مهاراتك في التواصل، أو ربما هذا الشخص ليس هو "الحب الحقيقي"، ربما ليس حبًا حتى.(خصوصًا لمن تكون طفل في الابتدائية..)

This book is dear to my heart. I found it while searching for books to add to the collection at the library where I work, and I was immediately drawn in by the art and the theme. It reminds me strongly of the story of myself and my best friend. I am the girl who only has eyes for birds, and he is the boy who follows me to hikes and shows and raptorly fun, because he loves me.

A boy falls for a girl in his school, Sylvia, who is an avid bird lover. When he decides to wear a bird costume to school, will the other kids make fun of him? Will he catch the eye of his bird lover?

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous, as is the writing. The story is so amazingly sweet and captures all the emotions of trying to garner the attention of a first crush – fear of failing, nervousness about putting one’s self “out there”, hope that things will turn out as anticipated.

I received this e-book in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley.

***I received a review copy from NetGalley for an honest review***

I liked the pictures and how the girl wrote the names of the birds with her drawings. The plot was kind of silly.

Sylvia is in my class.
She sits in front of me.
All I see is her.
But she doesn't see me.
Such a sweet love story! And I loved the illustrations!
