A Bird Day

"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 Lindstroem reflects the familiar and the absurd in human behavior through this funny bird family. We all recognise the family dynamics of bickering over fried mosquitos and worm pie-only the youngest is allowed to pick out the worms.

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.
