As usual with metaphrog books, this sort of makes sense, if you sort of tilt your head and squint... it's a very pretty, surreal sort of story, this one about Louis trying to find something to heal his (mechanical) pet bird. But there are a couple of ... spies? chasing after him on the long journey, in which Louis may or may not have ever left his backyard.
Yeah, it's weird. I have never figured out the overarching plot in this series. The creators are from Scotland (one originally from France), so I suspect there's a bit of European Art influence at work here. It's really good, fun to read and to look at, just ... a little shakey to understand.
