This is the kind of book that you'll ENJOY reading the kids again and again - and trust me, they'll ask (a niece had me read it to her four times in a row this afternoon and twice this evening - a record even for her)! They'll also love losing themselves in the wonderful, otherworldly pictures (which bounce off the sweet humor of the text delightfully). Gordimer as drawn in both senses has a lovely "everybyrd" quality. The book has a great (and nice and subtle) message, too: Engage the world, and don't let the thumble dimpling get you down!

Gordimer Byrd is a champion thimble-dimpler. But he knows he is destined for something greater. And when he stumbles upon a seemingly magic pebble, he's absolutely sure of it. What happens, then, when the pebble is not as magic as it at first seems? In his stunning picture-book debut, Robert Weinstock relates the story of an unassuming little bird who struggles mightily to realize his dreams. His artwork draws upon antique etchings and a distinctive use of color and composition, and his story is every bit as original. Gordimer Byrd is sure to charm all who encounter him. He reminds us that when looking for magic, we need search no farther than our own backyard.
