Black-Throated Blue Warbler is firmly within the animals & nature fiction genre with coming-of-age elements. The story follows a warbler, a small forest bird as she navigates her third spring in the White Mountain National Forest of New Hampshire. The events and birds are loosely based on an aggregate of true events. At 100 pages, it's a novella that is cozy, descriptive, and full of clever action set pieces.
Now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.
“The world was indeed larger than herself,
with countless ways of being.
She was learning that more every day.”
“Black-Throated Blue Warbler” is a very different story from what I read but it far exceeded my expectations. This book is special. I think it's fantastic that it is centered from the point of view of an animal and at the same time manages to make you feel so many emotions as you progress through the pages.
