In this playful picture book, award-winning First Nations writer Ambelin Kwaymullina asks readers to consider whether feathering our nests is more important than growing deep friendships.

The story depicts one of Australia’s most familiar birds, endemic to urban and rural areas across the country, facing a familiar scenario in choosing what to save when fire threatens.

It creates a gentle way to introduce children to the concept of what we value and what we can afford to lose.

Kwaymullina’s high-contrast illustrations swoop across the pages in joyful, jewel-like colours, making it perfect for holding the attention of young readers.
