Taunya English: "Honeybird Blue"

This sweet and colorful story about a father-daughter birding adventure is heartwarming, gorgeously illustrated, and quietly revolutionary, as it centers a Black family enjoying nature in peace.

Can you spot two early birds EARbirding on a father-daughter nature walk?

With each chirp and cheep, Honeybird ticks off a color on her birding adventure list:

Yellow. Tick!

Green. Tick!

But where’s Blue? Honeybird has never seen Blue. Not ever!

With her budding outdoor skills, a bit of patience, and encouragement from Pop, today could finally be the day.
