New York, NY – Author Linda Roberts-Betsch invites children and families into a gentle and educational adventure with her beloved book, The Day the Birds Came Calling. Centered on the curiosity and compassion of two young siblings, the story offers an engaging introduction to the natural world while highlighting the importance of respect for wildlife.

The story follows eight year old Kiki, who discovers a special secret nestled within a wreath on her family’s front door.

Together, they uncover a bird’s nest carefully built in the wreath, sparking excitement, questions, and a shared sense of responsibility. What begins as a simple discovery soon becomes a meaningful family experience.

As Kiki and Kip observe the nest, they involve their parents in protecting the birds and ensuring the family’s daily routine does not disturb the tiny visitors. Even the household’s three little dogs become part of the careful adjustments the family makes.
