Teensy Weensy

Detailed pencil and watercolor illustrations make effective use of white space in this charming picture book about caring for the natural world and all its creatures. When Efrat finds a sparrow hatchling who lost his nest to a storm, she brings him inside, nestles him in a cardboard box with twigs and leaves, and names him Teensy Weensy. Despite her friends and family telling her she shouldn’t bother, she diligently cares for him as he grows—and then lets him go.
