Description
A starling wants to sing an ode to all the wonderful things he sees as he flies over fields and forests. To make sure he won't forget anything, he asks all the birds he knows for advice on what to include in his song. The result is a beautiful and poignant picture book that invites us to pause for a moment and look at the world around us. The linocuts and text by Octavie Wolters bring a sense of wonder and curiosity to this charming story. As the starling searches for the perfect words to express his observations, he reminds us that there is beauty to discover in the smallest of things, if only we look properly. With its simple yet evocative language and stunning illustrations, this book is a lovely companion for anyone who loves nature and the beauty of the everyday world.
