What Makes a Bird is a lovely picture book that asks what traits makes a bird. Is it the feathers? The beak? Does it even matter?
As someone who's not great with metaphors, I wonder if it has a deeper meaning. It could be questioning labels that may or may not make sense, asking who decides the labels and why. (Or it could just be about birds, either way, I like it.)

If I read this as a child first, it might have been my favorite book. The art is beautiful. It's simple, yet painterly. Plus I love birds, so it's all-around a great read.

I recommend it if you love birds, art, or have kids that do!

Thanks Netgalley for the arc copy!
