I Heard A Bird

Rob Ramsden Click here for biography Rob introduces his book

IN THE GARDEN is a collection of books which encourage young children to relate to the natural world, and I Heard a Bird is the fourth and final title.

A little girl hears a bird which is frightened away by some cats fighting. As she searches for her bird, she encounters many other intriguing animals and insects. Then, after sitting down to listen to and enjoy the sounds of nature all around, suddenly her bird comes back!

This enchanting exploration of the sights and sounds of the natural world brings in themes of music, mindfulness and meditation, and will be appreciated by adults and children alike.

The simple text uses poetry and repetition and will be a joy to re-read many times.
