Little John Crow is a vulture. He's not sure he wants be one. Then his parents disappear. He thinks the farmer has shot them and goes out looking for more of his kind. He finds friends and joins them.
Akashic Books sent me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you). It has been published and you can get a copy now.
The illustrations by Mr. Rowe add to the story and are very nice.
His new friends inform Little John of how vultures eat dead animals to keep things clean. As John grows he turns into a beautiful big vulture. When his friends see a bird dying they hover around waiting. But John knows this bird and finds out that where he used to live is now all stinky from death. He goes with the bird and gets an even bigger surprise when he arrives home...
