Alec and Rosa are the best of friends. When they find a fledgling crow that has fallen out of its nest, they do their best to take care of it any way they can before it's ready to venture out on its own.
Best friends and avid explorers Alec and Rosa are always looking for their next adventure. With their skateboards and scooters in hand (and sometimes Emmett the dog!), the neighborhood is their oyster every day!
One day, as they climb trees and discover the wildlife around them, the friends come across a nest being built. In the distance, they hear the cawing of crows.
Oh no! It looks like lots of crows have just hatched their young, and a baby isn't quite ready to fly! Alec and Rosa watch as the baby bird attempts to flap his wings and tumbles down, down, down to the forest floor.
Knowing what they must do, Alec and Rosa scoop up the little crow and take him back to Rosa's house, where they name him Blue.
In the following days, Alec and Rosa help Blue regain strength and confidence to learn to fly. They help him talk to the other crows, who flock to Rosa's house and watch Blue's progress excitedly.
Before spring ends, will Blue be able to fly? And how will Alec and Rosa feel if Blue does gain the strength to flap his wings?
The Young Crow is a beautifully illustrated children's book that teaches children the values of animal welfare, kindness, and doing something nice with their closest friends.
