A stunning book shimmering with shiny silver foil throughout, from the
astonishingly talented Sharon King-Chai, illustrator of Animalphabet
written by Julia Donaldson.
WINNER of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Shadowers' Choice Award 2021.
Starbird is a magical story about love, freedom, and the wisdom of
children.
Starbird's songs weave the richest dreams and delight all who hear him,
but when the Moon King traps him in a cage as gift for his daughter, the
colour and life in his voice begin to drip away. While the Moon King is
blinded by greed and selfishness, his young daughter can clearly see the
injustice and cruelty of his actions.
A heartfelt, lyrical story that shows the importance of standing up for
what is right.
