About the Book

What happens when the one thing that makes you special is stolen? Join the Black Cockatoo in this fun, read-aloud adventure through the Australian bush as she searches for her missing feather... and discovers what's truly important. "Do you know who took my one feather blue?" From the award-winning author and illustrator of Leonard the Lyrebird and Lilah the Lyrebird comes this uplifting story about friendship, kindness and the magic of giving. Following the success of their two previous books, Jodie and Eloise are set to inspire young readers once again with The Black Cockatoo With One Feather Blue - a story filled with musicality, mystery and masterful visuals. With the aim of connecting children with the natural world in their books, this beautiful quality hardcover showcases iconic Australian birds and animals while delivering a heartfelt message of kindness and of letting go. Kids will love repeating the title refrain as they join the hunt for the feather thief - all the way to the book's uplifting end!

Review :
"A DELIGHTFUL RHYMING READ-ALOUD..." Kids' Book Review; "SUPERB ILLUSTRATIONS..." Kids' Book Review; "YOU ARE IN FOR A SPECIAL READ..." CBCA ReadingTime; "A delightful narrative that explores themes of identity, friendship and kindness through anthropomorphic Australian characters that embark on an adventurous quest. From its attractive cover and appealing silhouette endpapers, to its heart-warming resolution, this high-quality production is suited to younger readers. The undulating rhyme and almost musical rhythm flows wonderfully, with the clever use of alliteration and repetition adding to its read-aloud appeal. The highly accomplished illustrations, using muted and earthy tones, complement and enhance the written verse and facilitate a joyful celebration of the Australian bush setting. The final page of the book provides readers with further information about black cockatoos in Australia and urges readers to help save the habitat of black cockatoos." ~ Children's Book Council of Australia - Notables critique
