Little Birds, Big Journey
Paul Fleischman is a Newbery Medal–winning author. His latest book is The Class with Wings. It tells of a group of students who are tracking a bird migration. The tiny birds are called veeries. As a teacher describes the veeries’ migration, her students imagine the birds’ journey and relate to it.
Tens of thousands of veeries migrate each year. “Migrating birds have a hard life,” Fleischman told TFK.
The Class with Wings also includes resources for tracking and protecting birds. Fleischman hopes the book will inspire students to “go out and adventure.”
