Birds

Birds can be yellow or blue or brown or "so black that you can't see their eyes or their feathers, just their shapes." A young girl shares what she knows about birds and what she has observed and imagined about them. She wonders how the sky would look if birds left a trail of color as they flew and what birds do if they can't reach their nests in a storm. She even pretends that she is a bird.
