Two-time Newbery medalist Lois Lowry has crafted a beautiful picture book about the power of longing and the importance of reconnection between a girl and her father in post-WWII America.<p></p>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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Lois Lowry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Scholastic Press<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.90lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.10h x 10.20w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780545030359<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>133616 / Crow Call<br><br><b>Award:</b> Georgia Children's Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Volunteer State Book Awards - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> West Virginia Children's Book Award - Third Place<br><b>Award:</b> Arkansas Diamond Primary Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Carolyn W.
