The Thing About Birds is an Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Canadian Picture Book Award Finalist!

We’re ruffling our feather with joy over The Thing About Birds being nominated for the 2025 Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Canadian Picture Book Award! This fun, rhyming romp through nature that seeks to define the one characteristic that makes birds unique is accompanied by gorgeous watercolours and delightful drawings, making this a story to return to again and again.

We’re honoured to be a part of the amazing list IBBY Canada gathered this year. Congrats to all the other finalists!
