Little Bird's Day and Other Stories

By: Sally Morgan

Narrated by: Ella Ferris

Little Bird's Day: A simple, universal story of a day in the life of Little Bird as she sings the world alive, flies with Cloud, travels with Wind, nestles with Moon, and dreams of flying among the stars.

The River: The River takes the listener on a journey of what their eyes can see and their ears can hear. See green ants crawling, hear frogs croaking, a goanna running, a fish splashing.

Thank You Rain!: Thank You Rain! is a joyful listen, and is full of the plants and animals that welcome rain—raindrops in the treetops; birds singing in the rain; raindrops wetting the dry earth and filling creek beds; birds, frogs, and kangaroos all enjoying the rain and finishing with Johnny dancing with happiness.

Critic reviews

'The text by Aboriginal author Sally Morgan has a lovely gentle lilt to it and uses beautiful poetic language as it cycles seamlessly between third-person story-telling, an omniscient voice speaking to Little Bird, and the voice of Little Bird herself.' (on Little Bird's Day) (Reading Time)

'A great edition to early cultural studies programs ... teaches us how the wonder of the natural world surrounds us.' (on The River) (Tamantha Smith, Magpies Magazine)

'A gentle call and response text invites the reader or listener into country to meet and enjoy the birds and animals to be found there. This is a wonderful book, urging us to slow down, to savour what we encounter, to listen carefully and to see quietly.' (on The River) (Writing WA)
