Spit & Sticks
Marilyn Grohoske Evans, illustrated by Nicole Gsell
A nonfiction narrative follows chimney swifts through a year that begins on a Texas farm. The birds arrive, mate, construct a nest, lay eggs, and prepare their young to fly before the family migrates to South America. Alongside the swifts’ story, illustrations show a multiracial family in the house where the birds nest as they prepare for a new baby. An endnote provides further information about chimney swifts.
