A hilarious and oh-so-honest look at the art of sharing, from two rising picture-book stars.

Bird is just about to put the finishing touches on her new home when she suddenly finds that her nest is already full—of someone else. So she reluctantly builds another nest. But Fox finds this new nest quite comfy, and Brush Hog loves the view from Bird's next attempt. Soon the Acacia tree is bursting with happily nested animals of all shapes and stripes—everyone except Bird!

But when Bird finally finds a way to evict her unwelcome guests, the animals realize their mistake and build a nest that's big enough for all of them. Well, almost...

Not Your Nest! is a delightful story about sharing and home, filled with wit and charm that will captivate both children and adults alike.
