"Wordy Birdy loves to talk, but will she ever learn to listen?"--

One day, amidst the usual chirps, tweets, and caws, a little brown bird decides to try singing a new song and sets off an interesting reaction.

A shy and quiet boy wanders his new home town, listening to the birds, until he meets a fellow bird lover and friend.

Illustrations and rhythmic text depict a tree as it fills with birds, one at a time, each with its own unique song.

As the rooster announces that it's time to begin, the tawny owl hoots, the great spotted woodpecker taps away and the rest of the Big Woods Orchestra's birds welcome the new spring day with united voice, in an ode to nature for the very young.

"When Felix finds a feather on his windowsill, he is eager to uncover what bird it belongs to. But the answer comes to him in a way he least expects it to, by simply taking a moment to pause, and listen to the music of the birds around him." --publishers' website
