'This deceptively simple tale has a quiet power, and is illustrated with impressionistic images that capture the wild beauty and vitality of the black cockatoo.' Learn more about the #ReadingsKidsPrize shortlisted book, Black Cockatoo by @hakeaauthor bit.ly/2JosBz5

Honoured that it touched you. Thank you for the tweet!
Ooooh - this is such a quietly powerful book. It was the first from the shortlist that I read, and 6 weeks later I am still thinking about it.
