Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this.
Paper Boat Paper Bird is a beautifully illustrated book showing the power of hope and the need to take time to look around us and experience the work we inhabit.
It features Mina travelling to Japan, and was inspired by Almond's own travels. While travelling on a bus, Mina sees a woman folding an origami boat and she imagines it on its journey.
Simple prose, supported by illustrations that capture the ideas conveyed in the text.

Beautiful story, written in a simple but metaphorical , almost poetic way. I think it’s unnecessary for me to try explaining my understanding of this book as everyone can take the story of Mina’s origami boat and bird in a different way. Let me just say, “Paper boat, paper bird” is 100% worth reading by readers of all ages , even if just for the amazing art. Thank you NetGalley for giving me the pleasure of reading this book.
