“After Koel’s search, every tree on your street will seem to hide a home worth spotting. It’s a soft, unhurried start for budding birdwatchers.”
An egg on the way, and nowhere safe to put it.
Koel Wants a Nest is a gentle picture book about a koel searching for a place to lay her egg.
Koel is almost ready to lay her egg. First she needs a safe spot, away from stamping feet, windy branches and steep ledges. So she visits bird after bird, from Hornbill to Peahen, to see their homes. But why did Koel never learn to build a nest?
Why children love it
- Every bird has a different idea of home, and Koel checks out each one.
- Peahen nests "Right here, on the ground", and Koel's answer is a firm "Not for me!"
- Soft watercolours of feathery leaves, pink rain tree blossoms and Koel's bright red eye.
