The delightfully illustrated children's story Finch and Robin is about two diverse friends who really enjoy life. There's a lesson to be learned in Finch and Robin's story. The two just happen to be birds. "Both were just little baby birds when they first met and instantly developed schoolyard relationships. They were told early on by their elders, 'Finches stay with Finches. Robins stay with Robins.' " Although the two are different, they have a lot in common. The two good friends start each day together going through the same routine. They love visiting The Koolaid House, The Castle, and a cave decked out for comfort.
