Award-winning author and illustrator Henry Cole soars to new heights in this stunning picture book about robins—their homes, their lives, and their families. Now available in paperback!

In this black-and-white picture book highlighted with robin's egg blue, the reader will follow two robins as they build a nest from twigs and grass. Then the mother robin lays four beautiful blue eggs, and she will keep them warm in the nest until they become four baby robins.

Father Robin protects the babies until they are able to fly on their own. The dangers the babies face are many, including snakes and storms. The nest is always their safe place.

Nesting offers introductory animal science and biology concepts for very young children and also makes a spectacular spring gift.

Award-winning author and illustrator Henry Cole has recreated the life story of the robin with simple text and breathtaking artwork. Nesting is the perfect foundation for young birdwatchers and nature lovers. The beautiful, intricate black-and-white illustrations are illuminated with lovely washes of blue that bring the artwork to life.
