Reviews

[Sophie Snowden]

A lovely book, but the story is quite long

[Charlotte Whiteing]

Jill Dow's watercolour illustrations are beautiful and really made the story for me.

[Veena Regit]

Before I say anything about the story, I would love to say something about the illustrations – Gorgeous! And that’s the reason I picked this beauty up and also because my daughter absolutely loves birds / books on birds.
