Have You Heard . . .Just like a chittery-chattery child, Little Bird loves to talk. He asks questions, tells jokes, and explains all about his plans and what he knows aboutand#133; EVERYTHING!

Not now, Little Bird.
Iand#8217;m busy, Little Bird.
Andand#133; BE QUIET, Little Bird!
With insight and charm, this endearing tale of a familiar childhood dynamic is given brilliant visual expression via photographs of three-dimensional dioramas. In each handcrafted scene, Little Bird appears as if he might fly, or hop, right off the page.
Sure to captivate the eye, this well-told story will win the hearts of any little bird who knows what itand#8217;s like to feel a little overlooked, or unheard.
