Bill Bowerbird And The Unbearable Beak-Ache

Bill Bowerbird and the Unbearable Beak-Ache is a delightfully fun and quirky picture book with vibrant, playful illustrations and rhyming story that your kids will want to hear over and over again. Male bowerbirds build elaborate structures in nature to by collecting colourful scraps and tidbits that will attract female attention. So when Bill Bowerbird wakes up with a beak-ache he sets out to visit friends and collect items that might help him feel better. Toronto-based artist Tyler Clark Burke’s talent is on bold display here with bright and colourful zebras, frogs, yaks and other animal friends that children love to look at.

But the best news is that Tyler and her team have come up with THE MOST FUN BOOK LAUNCH EVER! And you’re all invited!
