A Word’s a Bird, Spring Flies By In Rhymes is a poetry app that enchants children and adults, uniquely fusing hundreds of hand-painted watercolors with digital technology.

In this spring bouquet of 3 animated and interactive poems, plus a title poem, nature blooms in words and pictures:

◆ compose a melody on the flowering shoots of April and watch the ducklings sing it back to you
◆ open the peonies that bloom in May and discover surprises inside
◆ put wind in the sail of the June honeymoon boat as it carries a young couple across a pond
◆ touch the red cardinal that flies through these scenes and hear him sing!


Even the youngest readers and listeners will understand the rhymed metaphors. They will see, by playing with the pictures, how a flower can make a comfortable room for a bee or a flowering shoot becomes a flute.
