Oscar the Osprey and His Diminutive Sister Edward Martin Polansky

In the author's third book about Oscar the Osprey, he tells the story about he and his sister, Oprah. The story is about Oscar becoming aware of the problems faced by his undersized sister, Oprah, which has caused her to be withdrawn and shy.

The book is about the seeking of understanding and enduring experiences to overcome such life barriers.
