The Speckled Feather
by Johanna Ries (Author)
Feather ruffling fun!
"What is truly special here is the beauty of the soft artwork, which has the feel of watercolor.... Close-ups make the squabbling feel immediate....A visual delight." - Kirkus Reviews
In the wide savanna there are three birds named Ade, Emem, and Nuru, that live on the back of an elephant. They are best friends. But one day the wind blows a bright speckled feather into their midst, and in no time their peacefulness is over. A thought-provoking story about friendship by debut author-illustrator Johanna Ries.

Review quotes
"What is truly special here is the beauty of the soft artwork, which has the feel of watercolor.... Close-ups make the squabbling feel immediate. And two double-page spreads in which a wild dog attacks the birds are outright gripping.....A visual delight."
