My Little Thief

Description

An unforgettable story of friendship between a curious girl with a rich imagination and a winged thief with a very big heart. Chloe loves many things-bugs, the dark, and especially broken or forgotten objects. But she doesn't seem to care for birds. When a mischievous crow appears in her backyard, Chloe steps out of her comfort zone and offers the curious creature a bite of her lunch. In return, Crow brings Chloe a beautiful button. Inspired by a true account of an unexpected friendship between a young girl and a crow, this thoughtful story explores misunderstandings and the value of everyday treasures.
