The Plovers' Quiet Shore
a book of the small birds that nest in the open and of the light kite that rides the high quiet air
William Vincent Carleton
Plovers nest on the open sand, their eggs almost the color of the beach, and they need people to walk around them. Lúmine stands still and gives them room, while Líam's light kite rides the high, quiet air. A gentle book about sharing the shore with what is small.
