Flute's Journey: The Life of a Wood Thrush is a children's picture book by Lynne Cherry, creator of The Great Kapok Tree.

The book tells the first year of a wood thrush's life starting from it hatching in a forest that is in Maryland.

The children wait for Flute to return from migration and watch him and his mate build a nest and raise their young.

The illustration of Flute's mother feeding her babies a worm is a good one to show.

[2][3] The book focused national media attention on conservation efforts to save the Belt Woods in Maryland.
