Coming of Age

Katelyn’s Crow follows eleven-year-old budding entomologist Katelyn Clark who hopes that her insect collection will win first prize at the science fair. While searching for new specimens, Katelyn makes an unexpected find: an orphaned baby crow. She is determined to keep the bird alive, and her new friend Maddie is eager to help. As their friendship navigates economic and family differences, Katelyn forms a more mature understanding of relationships and the ethical treatment of wildlife. The book includes insect and crow illustrations by SCBWI member Kathleen Phillips Poulsen.
