Product Description
The Woman Who Turned Children into Birds (Walker Studio)
Author: David Almond
Format: Hardcover
Recommended for ages 4+
A whimsical picture book about freedom, imagination, and daring from master storyteller David Almond, paired with exquisite paintings by Laura Carlin. Newcomer Nanty Solo claims she can turn children into birds.
Their parents are horrified and forbid it, but the children long to fly, and one by one they approach her and are transformed, until rooks, goldfinches, parakeets, and sparrows fill the sky above the town. Ordered back down at first, the grown-ups soon begin to wonder what it might be like to have wings of their own.
A lilting, dreamy tale for readers of all ages.
