Description
Feathery-tailed and frustrated, Feathers embarks on a quest for belonging that will take him to every corner of the country. Will the laid-back pink cockatoos welcome him? Or perhaps the charismatic lyrebird is his true kin?
Feathers is trailed by Duck, a scrawny, flightless youngster who he would rather be rid of. But when finding his destiny threatens Duck, Feathers must decide who his true flock is.
Pullout quote
A beautiful, thought provoking message for the children - such a great starting point for so many current issues for children. Thank you!
