TWO MANY BIRDS

Written and Illustrated by Cindy Derby

★★★THREE STARRED REVIEWS★★★

A Bank Street College BEST BOOK of 2020

As birds line up to perch on a tree, a monitor shouts rules at them: No fluffin' feathers! No pooping on the ground! No nudity!

Eventually, the tree fills to capactiy (100 birds), but what happens when two more are accidentally born among the branches?

Filled with heart, humor, and relevance, this side-splitting picture book by author/illustrator Cindy Derby opens minds and entertains all at once.
