"Bridget has used clever rhyming and rhythm to accompany her always beautiful artwork. I love the shape of this book too – a small square just right for hands to hold with its pages in a soft and appealing sage green. The textured look of the pages is the perfect accompaniment to this gentle appreciation of Australia’s bird life. ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever’ – I have forgotten who said this, but it’s an expression just right for this book."
