Uirapuru

Written by P.K. Page, Illustrated by Kristi Bridgeman
Published by Oolichan Books
A beautiful version of  Uirapuru, the legend of a song wren from the rainforests of Brazil. This tale of mystery and transformation is as beautiful and haunting as the song itself. The reference images of red listed creatures and exotic flowers inspired  the use of bold colours - the resulting Illustrations were shortlisted for the Governour Generals Award and won the Bolen Book Childrens Book Award.
