Watch the Birdie — Christopher Gilmore

Sometimes called a 'Latter-day Aesop', Christopher is an award winning established author of other books of family fables. For TELLING TALES, the reviewer of ArtsWest wrote...'At once funny and fantastic, exciting and enchanting, these are uplifting stories filled with light and laughter.' As a bewitched Twitcher, storyteller Christopher Gilmore sees little in life as uplifting as our feathered friends. In watching birds he loves to fantasize on their inner lives.

For him, the dodo is only dead in our imagination. Yet in ADAM's GARDEN imagine a world without flocks of migrating birds. From heaven? Like Angels? If so, let's daily thank them all, from the lowly sparrow to the transcendent hawk. May this feather fest of bird 'tails' renew your wonder and gratitude. Helped, we hope, by you colouring in the many drawings by Audrey Nightingale Young.
