STARRED REVIEW! ? "Uplifting in more ways than one, this prizewinning import suggests that little things can change lives—and perhaps even the world."
Kirkus Reviews

Children's picture books—the best of them, at least—have this magical quality of speaking to young hearts with expressive simplicity, but also engaging grown-up minds with subtle reflections on the human condition. Such is the case of Little Bird by Swiss author-illustrator duo Germano Zullo and Albertine, published by the wonderful Enchanted Lion Books. Illustrated in Albertine's signature style of soft, colorful minimalism, this little gem is like a beautiful silent film, only in vibrant hues and on paper.
