A Bird Day

A whimsical yet perfectly down to earth picture book about a day of family, mealtimes, climbing trees, and play, told through a bird family, from 2022 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award recipient Eva Lindström. "Wash your beaks, it's time for lunch--flies again today," says Dad. After lunch, the young birds get sent off to play--they sing, hunt mosquitos, compare leg size, and poke grubs. This is how birds spend a day. Eva Lindström reflects the familiar and the absurd in human behavior through this funny bird family. We all recognize the family dynamics of bickering over fried mosquitos and worm pie--only the youngest is allowed to pick out the worms. Expressive faces, hilarious hairstyles, Dad's great cooking, and a sister and brother's everyday conversation combine in a heartwarming and completely individual picture book from a unique artist with an international following. Praise for My Dog Mouse "This graceful picture book catches at the heart."--starred, Kirkus Reviews "This is a truly magical book that I love to bits."--Bookwagon (UK)
