Robbie Robin is the true story of three children who find a baby bird fallen from its nest and their journey to save its life. As the children learn how to nurture and protect the young bird, they must also learn how to say goodbye as Robbie grows and leaves the home the children have made for him. Both an emotional tale and a chronicle of scientific discovery, Robbie Robin reminds us that happiness and grief are shared, universal experiences that bind us all together, and that the connections formed in adolescence are sometimes the ones we remember the most.

My Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

A wonderful true story about one little Robins survival. I think as children we have all tried to take an animal we found home, not always to accepting parents. Most times baby birds won’t survive without their mothers so this story is amazing beyond belief. I think watching the family all care for this little baby bird and bringing back from the brink of death was really special. I loved how the bird came back after it’s release to let them know it was alright. A beautiful book with wonderful illustrations.
