Irene Swadling introduces the reader to new versions of how piwakaka (fantails) found their fans, how ngiru-ngiru were given their hoods for a good deed, the reward tui received for her beautiful song, why New Zealand's native parrots are so brightly coloured and the reason kakapo are a night parrot. Rising from a love of New Zealand's native birds and flora, Irene's stories are new takes on how some of our favourite birds have evolved. Accompanied by Peter Campbell's beautiful illustrations, this is sure to become a favourite as a read-to and read-alone book.
