My little friend Batbird Helen Kidd

'Follow Chirpy the Batbird, Cameron and Farrah, and other delightful dual animals, as they explore the world around them to find little treats and treasures'Five year old Cameron created Chirpy the Batbird as part of his school homework which was geared to encourage children to explore the outdoors. It is thought that children may develop a life long interest in wild plants and animals should they be introduced to them before the age of ten years old. Cameron's mum Helen, was inspired to write a poem about Cameron's Batbird. The poem was adapted to create the upbeat and colourful picture book. Helen and her illustrator created more dual animals to enjoy the outdoors with Cameron and his friend Farrah. Cameron shares his crochet pattern for readers to have their own Batbird made. Farrah shares her family bramble jelly jam recipe. The dual animals encourage little readers to make their own daisy chains, bird feeders and woodland paintings and collages.
