Can a clever crow help solve the mystery of a missing locket?

Meet Clancy—a curious crow with a love for shiny treasures and snack-time visits to Grandma’s chicken coop. But when Frankie’s most cherished keepsake disappears, it sparks a heartwarming adventure filled with nature, clues, and unexpected friendship.

Perfect for children ages 4–7, Follow That Crow! is a beautifully illustrated picture book that blends mystery, animals, and life lessons about kindness, family, and wonder. Ideal for young readers who love birds, animal stories, and gentle adventures with heart.
