Join Susan Stockdale as she discusses her new picture book BIRD SHOW with Politics and Prose Live!
With their decorative plumage patterns and rich hues, birds are truly the fashionistas of the natural world. From suits and gowns to headdresses and tailcoats, bird watchers enjoy spying the “clothes” of both the familiar and exotic birds around them. In lyrical prose, Susan Stockdale’s new picture book, Bird Show, introduces a new generation of children to 18 amazing birds including the magnificent Grey Crown Crane from Africa and the Marvellous Spatuletail of Peru. Rich backmatter outlines details about each bird, including where they are from and courtship rituals.
