Book Overview
All his life, Chang has not been able to speak. The only sounds he can make are the squawks and caws of the cormorants his father trains for fishing. Chang loves the birds, and is thrilled when he is finally old enough to help raise a cormorant chick. But this is more challenging than Chang expects, for in the process he must learn hard lessons about untrustworthy friends and what it really means to prove himself. Elizabeth Starr Hill's poignant story, set on the Li River in southern China, is accompanied by the evocative illustrations of Taiwanese artist Lesley Liu.

Bird Boy grows up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
First he is allowed to help his father with a big fishing event and then he has the responsibility of caring for a cormorant chick. But when his friend's big brother plays a trick on him things require a lot of work from Chang, who is mute, to fix. The story is easy to read and fast paced. There are nice illustrations as well. I recommend this book with no qualms.
