Born high in a spruce tree, Columbina and her brothers grow up listening to ancestral tales through long winters and harvesting pine seeds in summer. But Columbina begins to question her clan's traditions and forms bonds with creatures beyond her species. When she uncovers a looming threat from the mysterious Tall Ones, she must decide how far she'll go to protect her world. A richly imaginative novel told through avian eyes, Uplift explores the strength of community, the power of interconnection, and the impact of environmental change. It may just change the way you see birds forever.
