Let me tell you a story about creativity and heart. Busy Philipps recently shared how her daughter, Birdie, has taken on the global coronavirus pandemic with a message that's as clever as it is heartfelt. The beloved TV host didn’t just sit back—she showed the world what her 11-year-old daughter is doing to encourage others to stay in quarantine. It’s a powerful reminder of how even the youngest among us can make a difference in these unprecedented times.
On April 18, Busy, now 40, posted a series of two photos on social media featuring her adorable mini-me, Birdie. The caption was simple yet impactful: “Birdie knows what’s up. And she’s 11.” In the photos, Birdie is wearing a homemade T-shirt that’s anything but ordinary. It's adorned with colorful hearts and permanent marker writing, showcasing her artistic flair and message of hope.

Birdie’s message is a call to action for all of us. With millions of healthcare workers and essential personnel risking their lives daily, her words couldn’t be more timely or necessary. The front of her T-shirt reads, “They go out for us, so stay home for them,” a poignant reminder of the sacrifices being made every day. On the back, she adds, “Stay safe, stay happy, stay home.” It’s a message that resonates deeply in these challenging times.
As fans of Busy Philipps praised Birdie’s creativity, they also couldn’t help but notice the parenting skills behind it. One commenter remarked, “Clearly raised right!! Love it!!” while another gushed, “She is beautiful and smart.” A third chimed in, “Love this! 15 years of nursing and I never felt so supported by everyone. It’s so nice to be appreciated.” It’s clear that Birdie’s message is touching hearts across the nation.
Young Hearts, Big Voices
It’s incredible to see Birdie, who hasn’t even hit her teenage years yet, already expressing herself on issues close to her heart. Busy, who shares Birdie and her younger daughter Cricket, 6, with husband Marc Silverstein, has always been open about empowering her children. She believes in fostering strong, confident women, and it seems like her parenting philosophy is paying off in spades.
During an exclusive chat with Closer Weekly in March, the Busy Tonight star opened up about her approach to parenting. She and Marc, a screenwriter, make it a point to “practice what they preach” when raising their daughters. It’s not just about teaching lessons—it’s about living them.

“The key to helping my kids just be who they want to be, say what they want to say, and believe in what they want to believe in, is that I have to live that way too,” Busy explained. It’s about leading by example. If she wants Birdie and Cricket to grow up strong and wise, she needs to embody those qualities herself.
She emphasized, “You can tell kids all the lessons you want them to learn, but children become who they are by watching you. So, if Marc and I aren’t living the things we’re teaching them, it doesn’t matter—they’ll become something else entirely.”
We have no doubt that Birdie and Cricket are going to grow up to be just as remarkable as their mom, Busy!
