Two stars of the children’s literary world are at their best in this beautiful and eloquent picture book. The Go-Away Bird grumpily tells everyone to go away – we’ve all been there, little children included – but fortunately when she really needs friends at her side, they come back. The message about the importance of friendship and sharing is expertly and memorably delivered via Julia Donaldson’s lively rhyming text and Catherine Rayner’s vibrant illustrations. Eyes, ears and hearts will be captured by the story and there’s lots to discuss while reading.

A heart-warming rhyming story about making friends and working together from the Number One bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and Catherine Rayner, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration.
The Go-Away bird just wants to be left alone. One by one, the other birds fly into her tree, wanting to talk or to play, and she sends them all away. But when the bullying Get-You bird comes along, she soon realises that sometimes everyone needs the help of their friends!
A beautifully illustrated book with a wonderful rhyming story about the power of friendship and teamwork, The Go-Away Bird is perfect for reading together.
