When her high mountain wilderness is threatened by humans, a rebellious young bird must teach others how to work together to save their common home.
Born high in a spruce tree, Columbina and her brothers grow up listening to ancestral tales through long winters and harvesting pine seeds in summer. But Columbina begins to question her clan's traditions and forms bonds with creatures beyond her species. When she uncovers a looming threat from the mysterious Tall Ones, she must decide how far she'll go to protect her world.
A richly imaginative novel told through avian eyes about the bonds of family and joys of friendship. Uplift explores the strength of community, the power of interconnection, and the impact of environmental change. It may just change the way you see birds forever.

Reading this story through the eyes of our avian friends was an interesting perspective. We watch them fly around all day, and most people take notice of our feathered friends. How might they see us? Do they pass knowledge down through generations? If you enjoy nature you will enjoy this book.
