The Twitterings of Ten Garden Birds

Birds live in their own secret world.

Birds are beautiful little creatures that have the gift of flight – they look down upon us from the trees, rooftops, the church spire and the weather vane, before deciding whose garden to visit this day. They have a marvellous navigational aid allowing them to migrate and then return. They have a short life span. The sparrow’s for one, so ordinary with its mousy feathers, is only 10 months.

This then, is the raison d'être for writing this book.

The Twins from Corncockle Bottom

“I’ve finally got a bedroom to myself,” called out Hannah, busily putting toys and books neatly on a shelf.

“Me too,” shouted her brother Jack excitedly from the room next door as he shoved things under the bed that he couldn’t find a home for.

A new house at last.  What could possibly go wrong?

But all is not as it seems as earlier that day …….

 “Mum,” said Poppy, “I’ve got to make a house out of a shoebox for homework and it has to be back in on Monday.”

“No,” Sophie corrected her, “the house has to be in the shoebox, I think.”

“Well, I thought Mrs Hayes actually said a garden anyway,” retorted Poppy, “not a house.”

“I know what,” said mum trying to quickly diffuse the situation and keep the peace, “we’ll do both – a house and a garden in a shoebox, how about that?”

And so it was that, due to Poppy Wilson’s daydreaming, her homework assignment quite literally took on a life of it’s own.

With a little bit of magic, she and her two sisters are led into a tiny world full of mysteries and mishaps.
