In this poignant, visually striking picture book, a small bluebird makes friends with a lonely little boy. The bird coaxes the boy to come out of his shell, and together they explore the city and play in the park. But their day together is interrupted by a frightening encounter with bullies, leading to a heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful ending. The powerful illustrations speak for themselves in this wordless tale; a limited colour palette and crisp, geometric lines give the book a fresh, modern look, almost like an animated movie. Unique, moving, and memorable, Bluebird provides a timely invitation for kids to talk about issues of friendship and loss. Picture book newsletter July 2013
