When a child asks a question that you aren't prepared to answer, why tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Mama Bird is challenged by sharing the truth with Baby Bird. Much like with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, what harm is there in telling your child that pigs are... blue? At least, that's what Baby Bird is about to find out: the truth about pigs!

Mama Bird Papa Bird is colorfully illustrated by Faith Thomas, in soft watercolors that depict a family of Robins. The author, Wanda Obermeier was born in Wisconsin, where Robins are the state bird. She spent many hours as a child observing them and being awakened each morning by their lovely song that is so very distinguished from all the others birds. Mama Bird Papa Bird has been criticized for being about a traditional family, however, since most birds mate for life, it seemed proper to identify them as a family.
