Description

The blossom blowing in the wind, the snow-capped mountains, the coat of a roe deer... From up in the air, everything looks so beautiful to the starling. He wants to sing about it to the world! But first he visits all the other birds, who each have something to add to his song.

This stunningly illustrated story reminds us of the endless beauty that can be found in the everyday, if only we look closely enough.
