"If you and small children you know love birding, or just enjoy listening to or watching birds, this is a delightful read-aloud book introducing the activity. I loved how the choice of words mimicked the birdcalls so well."
— Christine DeSmet, Author and Writing Instructor/Coach

Lovely new review! "Who is Singing? takes you on a leisurely stroll while you listen with your heart. The author describes the soft cooing of the pigeon as well as the sharp caws of the crow . . . Every page. . .helps nature come alive. . ."—children's author Kathy Waldvogel
