A funny and whimsical picture book about an ordinary family day, told through a bird family, from 2022 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award recipient Eva Lindström.
"Wash your beaks, it's time for lunch--flies again today," says Dad. After lunch the young birds get sent off to play--they sing, hunt mosquitos, compare leg size, and poke grubs.
This is how birds spend a day. Eva Lindström reflects the familiar and the absurd in human behavior through this funny bird family. We all recognize the family dynamics of bickering over fried mosquitos and worm pie--only the youngest is allowed to pick out the worms. Toddlers will recognize key moments in a perfectly down to earth day--play, mealtimes, stretching boundaries, and sleep.
With dry observations of human family behavior that adults will enjoy, this is a picture book to make all the family laugh and to read aloud together. Expressive faces, hilarious hairstyles, Dad's great cooking, and a sister and brother's everyday conversation combine in a heartwarming and completely individual picture book from a unique artist with an international following.
Translated from the Swedish edition by Julia Marshall. Other books from Eva Lindström - My Dog Mouse, Everyone Walks Away
