The Song of the Tree
'A masterwork, every page a sumptuous feast of colour and composition' - Financial Times, Summer Books of 2020
The lyrical, heart-warming new tale from the award-winning designer and creator of The Fox and the Star
Bird loves to sing in the towering tree at the heart of the jungle. It feels like home.
When the season changes she must say goodbye, but she isn't ready to let go.
As she listens to the other animals, Bird learns to sing a new song.
Review
Another exquisite, clothbound tale from Coralie Bickford-Smith... [her] illustrations are so vivid and patterned, reminiscent of traditional African wax prints, that each page feels alive. The night-time stars and fireflies sparkle, though there's no glitter or foil used, while elsewhere the text swoops bird-like across the page ― Observer
Depicts nature at its most majestic and tells a lovely fable about belonging ― Financial Times
Never have the woods looked more beautiful than in this exquisite new fable about growing up, exploring the world and understanding where you belong ― Angels and Urchins Magazine
Heart-warming . . . a celebration about the world around us and the importance of the natural world at a time when we need it the most ― Creative Review
Wonderful, poetically told . . . beautifully designed on the page to match the spirit of the words, tells of the importance of shelter and its power to encourage confidence and tolerance as well as empowering development and independence. The interdependence of the bird and the tree in this story is a beautiful telling of a universal theme -- Julia Eccleshare ― LoveReading
Magical ... an ode to nature -- Best Children's Books of 2020 ― Observer
