The brief stories of three caged birds are told in small books contained in a larger volume.

In a single gathering consisting of 4 leaves of alternating black and gray paper at beginning and end, surrounding a central section of 12 leaves of translucent paper. Each of the 8 gray and black leaves bears a screenprinted white spiral design and a circular cutout (last leaf has cutout only); some translucent leaves are blank, some bear a screenprinted black circle on recto, which form a horizontal line of 5 circles when viewed through the block of translucent leaves. There are 12 screenprinted designs in all. Beginning with the third translucent leaf, a red thread passes through each leaf in an irregular pattern and is secured at the end to the outside of the spine of the wrappers.
