I’m thrilled that our book has won the Picture Fiction category of the 2024 Wilderness Society Environment Awards for Children's Literature and hope that it inspires young people to love and care for our precious environment. The inspiration for this book is birds - what they can show us and what they can teach us about resilience, adaptation, survival. Making this book was a joy from start to finish and I hope you love it too. Thank you, Wilderness Society, for this award and for all the work you do to support children’s literature.
