The Dancing Birds of Paradise: Bop

By Sally Waghorn

FIRST TIME EVER A STORY ABOUT NEW GUINEA'S EXTRAORDINARY 'DANCING BIRDS OF PARADISE' - FOR CHILDREN

Macca the Kookaburra's accidental journey to a strange land opens up a whole new world of possibilities where his passion for dance is celebrated. Unlike his life leading up to this point, Macca isn't shunned for his talent. He's unashamedly embraced into the new culture and praised for being true to himself. The Dancing Birds of Paradise (BOP) aims to teach children the importance of embracing their uniqueness and to be open to stepping into unfamiliar territory to find their place in the world.

For movers and shakers aged 3+, this book is a perfect read-aloud to inspire children through vibrantly coloured illustrations, movement, and the unusually majestic and often quirky dancing of these stunning creatures.

The names of the birds in this book are inspired by their real scientific names, as outlined in the National Geographic book through The Cornell Lab of Ornithology by Tim Laman and Ed Scholes: "Birds of Paradise. Revealing the world's most extraordinary birds."
