When I was reading Each Little Bird that Sings by Deborah Wiles I could not put the book down! There was non-stop action and adventures. Comfort Snowberger has to deal with life struggles while dealing with her pesky cousin Peach. I loved this book. It is amazing how Comfort deals with everything! Next time I am struggling I will ask myself, what would Comfort do?
I would definitely recommend the book Each Little Bird that Sings to anybody who likes sad and adventurous books. There are lot of deaths in this book. All of which were very hard for the main character, Comfort, to settle into. There is an adventure when Comforts cousin Peach, who she does no like, or her dog Dismay. Comfort goes through a lot of struggles. To see how she settles into everything...find out when you read.
