Cockatoo Magic is a whimsical, eye-catching picture
book about a young girl named Ellie and her bird friend Snowy, a Sulphur
Crested Cockatoo. Ellie and Snowy enjoy frolics and games at home but deep-down
Ellie dreams of flying high in the sky with Snowy, beyond the reaches of her
backyard. But the outside world can be overwhelming, it can be scary, loud, and
strange.
One day Snowy invites Ellie on such an adventure which gently
challenges those beliefs and leads her to realise she is far more courageous
than she realises.
Illustrations by Nana Sakata are a myriad of swirling colour
that lift the story right off the page. Cockatoo Magic casts a spell of the heart that
speaks of friendship, trust, courage, and resilience.
Recommended for children aged 3 to 7 years.
