The book is open to a page with text written in Japanese, likely describing the contents of the page. The bird is depicted in a realistic style, with its wings spread wide and its beak open, as if it is about to take flight. The background of the image is a light blue sky with white clouds, giving the book a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
