About This Quote

It is easy to see the birds in the sky, but it is far more difficult to be observant of them in their little nests. Children can easily become so focused on the big things that they lose sight of the little ones. As a result, they miss out on learning important lessons about nature and life. This quote is not saying that children should not be concerned with the birds. It is saying that children should strive to become more observant of the world around them.
