In the spring a woodpecker mother and father create a hole in a tree to raise their family. As the family grows the babies mature and grow up to be on their own. This is a story about being brave and discovering who you are as an adult. I feel like this is a pretty heavy concept for such young children so I would focus more on the plot of the story when reading it. I could teach this book during a weather study because it includes important ideas of Spring and Winter and how animals tend to have babies in the spring and stay in to keep cozy during the winter.
