Crow Call by Lois Lowry

About This Book

The two-time Newbery medalist has crafted "a loving representation of a relationship between parent and child" in post-WWII America (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

This is the story of young Liz, her father, and their strained relationship. Dad has been away at WWII for longer than she can remember, and they begin their journey of reconnection through a hunting shirt, cherry pie, tender conversation, and the crow call. This allegorical story shows how, like the birds gathering above, the relationship between the girl and her father is graced with the chance to fly.

"The memory of a treasured day spent with a special person will resonate with readers everywhere." —School Library Journal (starred review)
"Beautifully written, the piece reads much like a traditional short story . . . the details of [Ibatoulline's] renderings gracefully capture a moment in time that was lost. Relevant for families whose parents are returning from war, the text is also ripe for classroom discussion and for advanced readers." —Kirkus Reviews
