I Found a Dead Bird: The Kids’ Guide to the Cycle of Life & Death by Jan Thornhill won the Norma Fleck Award For Canadian Children’s Non-Fiction at the Canadian Children’s Book Centre Awards last night. I Found a Dead Bird discusses "what happens after death to how people cope with the loss of a loved one" and "guides young readers through difficult territory with grace, sensitivity, and touches of humor." Quill & Quire praises Thornhill for her "scientific honesty, her relish in discussing life’s astonishments, and her emotional restraint...." It’s impossible to read this book without experiencing an exhilaration of curiosity and a prickle of awe at nature’s dazzling complexity...."
