Starbird is an original fable about freedom and love. This unique book shimmers with shiny silver foil throughout pages filled with stunning illustrations of plants and animals as the magical Starbird seeks to escape the clutches of the Moon King.
Starbird's songs delight all who hear him, but when the Moon King traps him in a cage as gift for his daughter, the colour and life in his voice begin to fade. What follows is a story with the feel of a timeless myth, with the message that captivity dims even the brightest star.
