The Dead Bird
★ A New York Times Best Illustrated Book
★ “Robinson stays true to the intent of the original text and illustrations but elegantly improves upon it with cinematic storytelling.”
— Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ “Brown takes a direct approach to a difficult subject, suggesting how community rituals provide solace. Robinson concludes with a wide-angle view of growing trees and the children flying a kite, implying a return to carefree fun and putting a poignant distance between the tiny figures and readers.”
