Each Little Bird That Sings by Deborah Wiles

Each Little Bird That Sings by Deborah Wiles

Ten-year-old Comfort Snowberger has attended 247 funerals--her family owns the local funeral home, after all. And even though Great-uncle Edisto keeled over with a heart attack and Great-great-aunt Florentine dropped dead--just like that--six months later, Comfort knows how to deal with loss, or so she thinks. She's more concerned with avoiding her crazy cousin Peach and trying to figure out why her best friend, Declaration, suddenly won't talk to her. But life is full of surprises. And the biggest one of all is learning what it takes to handle them.
In this heartfelt and quintessentially Southern coming-of-age novel, Comfort will charm young readers with her wit, her warmth, and her struggles as she learns about life, loss, and ultimately, triumph. Includes reader's guide and a biography of the author.

Deborah Wiles was born in Alabama and grew up in an Air Force household, travelling about a lot yet putting down deep roots in her extended family's Mississippi soil. She still travels down South from Frederick, Maryland, where she lives with her family and works as a freelance writer, where she has lived for many years. She also runs writing and oral history workshops for kids, emphasizing that all history is really biography and that everyone's story matters. Her debut novel is Freedom Summer.
