Franny’s Crow CANDACE SAVAGE, illustrated by CHELSEA O’BYRNE A beautiful picture book by Candace Savage, author of Bird Brains, about the power of nature and the importance of being connected to the present. There’s magic outside—if only you take the time to look. Franny knows this, but her father doesn’t understand. He thinks Franny is a featherhead. So when a crow starts bringing her presents, Franny’s father doesn’t believe her. Children and crows can’t be friends! Can Franny prove that the friendship is real? Inspired by a true story, this beautiful picture book by acclaimed author Candace Savage and illustrator Chelsea O’Byrne is a testament to the power of slowing down and being present in our beautiful natural world. Candace Savage is the author of more than two dozen books, including Bird Brains: The Intelligence of Crows, Ravens, Magpies, and Jays and Crows: Encounters with the Wise Guys of the Avian World. Her writing for young people has been honored by the Saskatchewan Book Awards, the Canadian Children’s Book Centre and the New York Public Library, among others. She lives with her family in Saskatchewan, Canada. Chelsea O’Byrne is an illustrator living and working in Vancouver, Canada. She graduated from Emily Carr University in 2016, and Franny’s Crow will be her third published children’s book.
