But when unexplainable things begin to happen around their house, Leigh’s dad gives in and buys them two plane tickets to Taiwan to visit Dory’s parents. Leigh is certain that if she can unlock the mysteries of a family she never knew, she’ll understand her mother’s last message to her. Somehow, Leigh knows this bird is her mother, and the box of things Leigh finds on the porch are both a gift and a message from Dory. No notes!Īfter Leigh’s mother, Dory, dies by suicide, Leigh receives an early morning visit from a large, red bird. And because Leigh has been seeing her mother as a crane-like red bird, everything here works. I love the jewel-toned red and purple ombre on this cover. However! I thought this book was really beautiful, and if you can handle reading about heavy topics like those mentioned, I highly recommend this one.
I know, that sounds pretty heavy, and I totally get it if your initial instinct is to run the other direction. It includes mentions of electroconvulsive therapy, racism, and blood. Trigger Warnings: This book deals heavily with themes of suicide, death of a parent, depression, grief, and abandonment. Cover Story: If You’re a Bird, I’m a Bird
