Free as a Bird By Barroux

A story of love, care and rescue from internationally acclaimed picture book creator, Barraux. It is the story of fleeing... from all you have known and landing into the unknown. But on the way you may need some help!

One day Jonas the lighthouse keeper and his friend Blue the whale rescue a tired, bedraggled bird from the sea...a bird who has made a perilous journey from a far-off country, fleeing war and great danger.


This beautiful story of care, refuge and freedom is told and illustrated with compassion and empathy.

A perfect book from Otter-Barry Books, for all ages to reflect on journeying alone, needing and offering help and for all those who are currently travelling across the world to find peace and a place to call home.
