Hello Bird
From talented picture book duo Owen Churcher and creator and executive producer of Disney Junior's Henry Hugglemonster and Eureka!, Niamh Sharkey, comes a FLAP-TASTIC garden bird adventure.
It is just an ordinary day in the garden. Until, the garden birds spot something different. A curious new nest. In the nest, a most peculiar egg. FLUTTER, FLOP, a new bird . . . DROPS!
"Hello Bird!" they say.
This bird sees things from a different point of view and isn't afraid to try new things. But the garden birds aren't so sure, especially when Bird ventures very close to . . . Watch out, Bird! CAT!
Uh oh! Has Bird tried one new thing too many? Is Bird in BIG trouble?
This fun, quirky, laugh-out-loud story gives us familiar, approachable characters in a new way. With a message of friendship, trying new things and appreciating what we can learn from each other, this is the perfect picture book for the youngest of picture book readers. The ideal gift for fans of Giraffes Can't Dance, The Koala Who Could and Green Eggs and Ham.
