Mama Bird circles far and wide, gathering twigs, blades of grass, and big leaves to build the perfect nest for her hatchling. She visits a beaver dam and sees the sturdy home that beavers live in. She visits a wide green meadow where deer frolic and play. And she visits a pond and sees a school of fish swimming in the glistening waters. But Mama Bird does not live in a beaver dam. Or a wide green meadow. Or in a glistening pond with other fish. So what makes Mama Bird's home special?

Welcome home. I built this home special just for you.

A teacher, a coach, a husband, and now a father, Joel Coyne lives with his wife, Tricia, and their son, Camden, in Wisconsin.
