Lizzie sits in the truck next to her father, who isn't a father to her, shy and a little scared. He really is her father, but he has been away at war for so long that he doesn't feel like a member of her family. They are up early on a cold November morning to go crow hunting. Hunting, its the scary part for Lizzie. Who is this hunter called Daddy? And what about the baby crows? Who will take care of them, when their parents are gone? This touching story is based on the life experience of its author Lois Lowry. It is a Newberry Medal Winner.
