SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE (PB)

The earth was young and full of colour. But the animals were dull and drab. Something must be done, thought the painter. With dabs and sweeps the painter's brush creates the stripes on the zebra, the sharp suit of the penguin and the bright splashes on parrots. But what can he give the nightingale when his paintbox has run dry? A beautiful and gently moving tale from Carnegie Medal winner Tanya Landman and V&A Illustration Award winner Laura Carlin.
