Cut out the picture of dead birds to make the book suitable
Sometimes there is a reason a book doesn't sell well. At first, I was pleased with the book. The language is well-spoken and poetic as a young boy looks up at the birds in the sky. However I was jolted when, in the middle of the book, the author said that people who didn't like the birds had poisoned them with bitter seed.....and there was the depressing and graphic picture of 30 dead birds. I didn't think it was suitable for children. After thinking about it, I decided to cut that page out of the book. Now my daughter enjoys the story, and so do I.
