Beautifully read by Jodie Whittaker, best known for her role as The Doctor in Doctor Who.
A rhyming fairy tale adventure about the magic of nature from the Number One bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and Catherine Rayner, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration.
Imagine if you could speak to birds . . . that's just what happens to one little girl when she is given a magic feather that transforms their trills and twitters into words - and she discovers that they need her help. Join her as she embarks on an amazing journey across the sea to save their nests from the queen's woodcutters.
A stunningly narrated audiobook with a wonderful rhyming tale about magic, nature and looking after our environment from the creators of The Go-Away Bird.
