Description

The second volume of Sidekick Books’ Birdbook anthology series immerses the reader in Britain’s lakes, marshes and rivers, where a cavalcade of birds cavort, sidle, gaggle, squabble and goggle. This bright, boisterous collection draws together talented poets and illustrators in a splashdown of nature artwork. It’s a festival of styles as multifarious as the subjects themselves, and just as certain to evoke fascination and breathy delight!
