Hawk Hill — Suzie Gilbert

When Pete moves to a new town, he can't seem to make any friends. But one day, Pete takes a new road home from school, and what he discovers changes him forever. Suzie Gilbert's lyrical text is paired perfectly with magnificent watercolor paintings by best-selling artist and avid bird watcher, Sylvia Long. The spectacular images, carefully researched, capture the world from both a human and bird's-eye view, while a detailed glossary of birds and information about raptor rehabilitation underscore the importance of keeping the natural world wild. Hawk Hill is a poignant reminder that hope and friendship are often found in unexpected places.
