Product Description
Walker Studio The Woman Who Turned Children into Birds
Author: David Almond
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 5+
A whimsical picture story about freedom and imagination from master storyteller David Almond, paired with exquisite paintings by Laura Carlin. Newcomer Nanty Solo claims she can turn children into birds, and though anxious parents forbid it, the children long to fly, and one by one they are transformed until the sky teems with rooks, goldfinches, parakeets and sparrows.
At first the grown-ups demand they come down, but the sight of their soaring offspring soon leaves them wondering what it might be like to have wings of their own. A dreamy, playfully illustrated tale for readers of all ages.
