Synopsis: A gorgeous story about accepting differences from the creator of Wanted:
The Perfect Pet and The Perfect Present. Cuckoo is a bit different from
all the other chicks. They too-woo-weet but he cuckoos! So he goes in
search of a new home - but the sheep, frogs and cows don't understand
him either. Will he ever find someone who is just like him? Fiona
Roberton's universally appealing style is reminiscent of Oliver Jeffers
and bound to win her many young fans. (Credits to Book Depository)
Review: "A gorgeous story about accepting difference" - Reading Zone
"Drawn with pencil-sharp precision, Cuckoo is an irresistibly cute, round-bodied little bird with a jauntily striped belly and a resilient attitude. What family wouldn't want him in their nest?" - The New York Times
