A review by rrrrj
The King of the Birds by Acree Graham Macam, Natalie Nelson

3.0

I adore the patchwork art, but I think the story is a little too disjointed to use for a storytime. I also like... get that a peacock's tail is for mating, but coaxing the peacock by introducing a cute peahen was kind of an anti-climax for me, and the ending really trails off. I didn't know this book was based on the childhood of Flannery O'Connor until the author's note. That's neat, but this story could have used more framing at both ends.
