A review by henrymarlene
Penguin Bloom by Bradley Trevor Greive, Richard Roxburgh, Marcus Longfoot, Edwina Wren, Cameron Bloom

5.0

I read this as mumma maggie in the smoky dusk, was digging up my lawn finding dinner for her baby. This was a sweet, sad, and comforting read. I love magpies, they are intelligent and friendly, and I love interacting with the family in my 'hood' who get all chirpy when I fill the bird bath for them. @cambloom and @tasmanian_grizzly created such a beautiful song of words and pictures in this story of Sam's recovery after her fall, and Penguin's survival. Penguin is a marvellous spokesbird that captured my heart, just like my neighbourhood magpie family do.

Read this and enjoy the beauty of the book and magpies.
