Title: The Trumpet of the Swan
Author: E.B White
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Year: 1970
210 pages
We added this book to our collection simply because it was authored by E.B. White (Charolette's Web). I don't read children's stories often but I thought this might be a good break from some of the other reading I typically have on the go.
"Trumpet of the Swan" is about a young swan and a young boy who go through the experiences of growing up, of trying to find their way in the world. They don't know each other's language and yet they form a bond that is unbreakable across distances or time. It is also a book about being different and what it feels like to grow up knowing that you are different from others around you.
It is a sweet book that is quite well-written with some beautiful artwork scattered throughout the pages. The characters are lovely and you can't help but be excited for Louis the swan as he experiences many adventures. It is an easy read for a lazy summer day.
