A stunning book in verse inspired by the famous Scottish Gaelic ballad, Twa Corbies, from the award-winning author of Loon and Hawks Kettle, Puffins Wheel and the celebrated illustrator of EveryBody's Different on EveryBody Street.
One corbie, twa corbies,
Two black crows
Perch in the gray
Of a November-tree day.
This melodious read-aloud reimagines the haunting Scottish Gaelic ballad Twa Corbies as a child-friendly counting book. Two Crows follows a country dweller and their dog on a cold November's day as they observe the wild, wooded landscape all around them. Young readers will delight in observing the crows' strange behaviour as they bitter and squawk, chatter and talk, while rabbling with a rabbit, squabbling with a squirrel, and howling at a hound. As readers watch the crows come and go, they will find themselves counting up to ten and back down again.
With stunning, spare verse from the award-winning author of Loon and Hawks Kettle, Puffins Wheel and folk art - inspired artwork by Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Award-nominated illustrator Emma FitzGerald (EveryBody's Different on EveryBody Street; A Pocket of Time), Two Crows is a lilting tale to warm the heart on cold winter nights.
