A Bird Day
by Eva Lindstrom
Age Range: Under_5
After playing a daring game of car chicken, Lena and Bo are told they mustn’t do such a dangerous thing and to find something else to do. “Like What?” they ask. “Wash your beaks for instance. It’s time to eat. ” Flies again,” says Papa. “You cook then,” replies Mama. While their parents argue, Lena and Bo go outside. They sing, hunt mosquitos, compare leg size and poke at grubs. This is how birds spend their days.
A delightful, down-to-earth picture book from Swedish author and illustrator Eva Lindström, translated by Julia Marshall, that reflects some familiar human behaviour through this funny bird family as they bicker over flies for lunch and their dad’s mosquitos and worm pie. It is the illustrations accompanying the amusing dialogue of the sibling’s everyday conversation that makes this book from Lindström’s expressive faces and hilarious hairstyles to Dad’s great cooking.
Lindström was awarded the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2022.
