I’m Building a Nest is a beautifully illustrated non-fiction text that introduces younger children to the fascinating ways different animals create their homes.

Told from the perspective of a female ruby-throated hummingbird, the story begins with her describing how she carefully builds her own nest. She then poses the question, “Do other animals make their homes like me?” a creative strategy that leads readers on a journey through a variety of habitats and species.

Each double-page spread features a different animal, from bumblebees to snow leopards, with lively speech bubbles that present factual information in a playful, humorous way. This blend of fun and fact keeps children engaged while supporting their understanding of the natural world.
