‘This is a  special book for anyone who cares about the birdlife of Aotearoa’ — Jenny Nicholls, Waiheke Weekender ‘Sylvia and the Birds is a fortifying book – a book that makes you want to be “a hero in your own backyard”. It is a book that is informative, entertaining, moving. A complete package.’ — Paula Green, Poetry Box ‘Sylvia and the Birds would make a great Christmas present for the whole family to explore’ — Alex Eagles, Kete Books ‘Part-graphic biography, part-practical guide to protecting our wildlife, it's a handsome, generous, book ... A book that should be in every household and school.’ — Maria Gill, KidsBooksNZ
