On the Wing

By David Elliott

Illustrated by Rebecca Stadtlander

David Elliott’s witty verse takes flight with gorgeous illustrations in an enchanting book for bird lovers of all ages.

Take to the sky to explore a glorious array of all things avian, from the tiny, restless hummingbird to the inscrutable horned owl to the majestic bald eagle. David Elliott and Becca Stadtlander bestow a sense of wonder onto such native birds as the sparrow and the puffin, and capture the exotic beauty of far-flung fowl like the Andean condor, the Australian pelican and the Caribbean flamingo. Concise, clever verse from an award-winning author pairs with striking artwork from a debut illustrator to make this a true pleasure for anyone who loves birds.
