Can You Dance Like John?

"Mary and John Crane's flight back toward their nesting grounds in Alaska was starting differently than most years. It wasn't that they had lost each other again, like they did the year before in Nebraska, but this spring John wasn't his normal self."

So begins Can You Dance Like John?, Jeff Kurrus's fictional account of one sandhill crane learning to cope with the loss of her mate. Set on the crane's migration path, this bittersweet story of love, loss, and healing will appeal to all ages. Michael Forsberg's beautiful color photographs also help entertain and educate readers about sandhill cranes.
