A Gift from the Birds

Birds can save people’s lives. You may think that’s a strange thing to say. How can a small animal with wings save a person? But I know they can. It happened to me.

When Millie was nine years old her mum got sick. And now, things are getting serious. Millie sits on the back step of her house, worried and upset, and two shiny black crows fly into the yard.
Do they just want some of the cheeseburger she’s attempting to eat? Or are they visiting for some other reason?
Before long Millie starts to find mysterious objects in the garden.
What are they trying to tell her? And can they help her as she faces losing her mum?
