What’s on this page?
A tall, puzzled ostrich with a long neck and fluffy feathers, a cozy nest, and Finch snoozing inside with a line of Z’s above him. It’s one of my favorite pages to draw because it’s funny and calm at the same time.
What can you talk about while you color?
Finch found a place that feels safe. Ask your child: “Where do you feel safest when you need a rest?” It’s a nice question for bedtime, too.
A coloring idea from me
Try soft colors for this one, like pinks, peaches and light browns, to make it feel sleepy.

Finch is the hero of my picture book The Bird in the Egg, a story about a little bird who’s scared of the world and finds the courage to step out of his shell. — David
