It is time for the birds to journey to far-off lands, but Little Bird has hurt his wing. Then he meets a friendly deer and together they set off on an adventure of their own.
A range of simple stories for new readers, with beautiful colour illustrations. Deer is grazing in the forest, minding his own business, when he hears someone calling out for help. Little Bird has injured his wing in a fall and has been separated from his flock, who are flying away to another, warmer land. Deer is keen to help Little Bird and introduces him to his forest friends, who tell them that Little Bird needs to follow the sun in order to find his flock. But how can he do that when he can no longer fly? Deer offers to journey with him and they set off on an adventure through the forest and the seasons... A charming story about helping others to overcome obstacles.
Seasons, forest creatures, animal homes and migration are all touched upon within the story, inspiring curious young minds to find out more about Bird's interrupted journeys through the environment Deer calls home. [...] this is perfect four young readers setting off on their own independent reading journey. -- Nicola Cleveland, school librarian * ReadingZone *
This charming tale of friendship and commitment to helping others is told largely through dialogue with descriptive rhyming couplet to introduce each season and rhythmic songs. [...] The experience is much enhanced by the beautiful painted illustrations with have the charm of Disney's Bambi. -- Sue Barrel * The English Association *
Sebastian Van Doninck's coloured illustrations have a vintage Disney feel, and they are gloriously reproduced on the luxurious glossy pages of the hardback edition, which offers a lovely lesson in the comforts of companionship. * Irish Times *
A tale of friendship and overcoming obstacles as the seasons come and go. * Picture Books Blogger *
