Bickford-Smith, Coralie,

The song of the tree / Coralie Bickford-Smith. - 64 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations ; 26 cm

This vividly illustrated poetic fable stars a bird who learns to trust that the magnificent tree she calls home will be safe and full of life even when she flies away. (Miller Library Staff) "Bird loves the towering tree that grows in the jungle, but when the season changes she must say goodbye until next year. Then one day Bird wonders: what happens to the tree when she flies away? As she discovers the stories of the other creatures who live in the tree, Bird learns to sing a new song. Lyrical, heart-warming and beautifully illustrated, this new fable from Coralie Bickford-Smith is a tale about growing up and finding our own way of exploring the world, and a celebration of belonging."--Provided by publisher.
