**Shortlisted for the Yoto Carnegie medal for Illustration 2024**
Written by the wonderful Julia Donaldson, The Bowerbird is the irresistible tale of Bert - a small bird with a very big heart!
Bert the bowerbird is looking for love. He has made the most perfect bower, complete with a pretty purple flower, and is hoping it will help him to meet the bird of his dreams. But when Nanette comes along, she is far from impressed. Poor Bert is hurt, and flies off to bring her presents a-plenty. But will it ever be enough, and is Nanette really right for Bert?
-
Illustrating Julia's work is a delight - and this was no exception! I think children will absolutely love little Bert - and there is plenty for adults to love in this book too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
