Synopsis

BIRDS are only another expression of Gods love, and we are told that not even a sparrow shall fall to the ground without the notice of the Father.Birds are poetry come to life and set to music.If you should stand at the edge of a forest at sundown and hear the birds singing their good-night songs, hear the sleepy little notes grow fainter and fainter until the silence came,then when the dusk had deepened, you should hear the night birds begin their plaintive songs, you would realize what a different place our beautiful world would be without birds.Even in great cities we have always some birds. The saucy little sparrow, who comes so boldly begging crumbs at your window, likes the cities best.Only very thoughtless people, or those who do not understand, would harm or frighten a bird.They are real little people, and I am sure that when you have come to know them you will love them as much as you have learned to love the Flower Children..

About Elizabeth Gordon

Elizabeth Gordon (1866 - 1922) was a juvenile fantasy author whose works include Flower Children, Bird Children, and Mother Earth's Children, a delightful collection of poems about the "frolics of the fruits and vegetables." Illustrations by M.T. Ross engage children to identify a variety of plants and birds. Mother Earth's ChildrenHer passion to help children connect with the food they eat is evident in her forward to Mother Earth's Children: "A seed, little friends, is really a plant or a tree all wrapped up in a little brown bundle. If you plant it in the ground it will grow, and when it is old enough it will bear fruit, because God has made it so. Among all the children of Mother Nature, the fruits and vegetables are probably the most useful to us. Wherever we may go some of these little people are there before us, ready to help us by giving us food and to make life easy and joyous for us.
