Hello, I'm Here!
A brief rhyming text and crystal-clear color photographs document the first day of a sandhill crane chick. “It’s getting crowded inside this egg” signals the chick’s imminent hatching, while “Will my legs hold me? What if I fall?” heralds its inaugural shaky steps. The busy day continues with water exploration, insect and snail snacks, and watching adult cranes fly overhead, until the exhausted chick rests atop its mother’s wing. A final full-page note provides additional details about the development of juvenile sandhill cranes. ©2020 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
