Frog and the Birdsong

Frog is worried. He's found a blackbird lying on the ground and it isn't moving. When some of Frog's friends see the bird, they don't know if it's ill or asleep. Then Hare comes along, who tells then the bird has died. Gently and simply, the animals learn that death is a natural part of life.

Max Velthuijs's vibrant, expressive illustrations capture perfectly the range of emotions experienced by the characters in this tender story
