The children’s book of the year awards - shortlisted

I am a collector. Always looking, finding ... and keeping! 

Bowerbird loves BLUE. Magnificent cobalt. Brilliant, vibrant blue! But something is missing. What could it be?

This picture book from Aura Parker stars a beautiful bowerbird on the search for blue! It’s a moving story of longing and connection, that unfolds as the bowerbird’s search sends him soaring across the sea, sky and city.

He swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, and soon his bower―a mix of natural and unnatural objects―attracts something greater and more fulfilling than he could ever have imagined.
