Description
Birdsong is a powerful story about the importance of intergenerational relationships and shared passions. When Katherena and her mother move to a new town, Katherena feels lonely and out of place. However, her world starts to change when she meets an elderly woman artist named Agnes, who lives next door. The two women share a love for arts and crafts, birds, and nature, and their friendship brings vibrancy and warmth to Katherena's life.
As the seasons change, Katherena navigates the failing health of her new friend, Agnes. Through her textured images of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes, author and artist Julie Flett brings this story to life. The book highlights the fulfillment of intergenerational relationships, shared passions, and spending time outdoors with the ones we love.
Featuring a glossary and pronunciation guide to Cree words that appear in the text, Birdsong is a heartwarming tale of friendship and connection. Julie Flett's smooth and lyrical words and gorgeous images capture the warmth and solidarity of the female protagonists in this tender story.
