More about the book

Disney meets Kafka in this beautiful, intense, original tale! The story of a very small and very scared little bird, who lives a lonely, isolated life in a great big house with his infirm mother. He's never been outside the house, curious but terrified of the world outside, and he will never leave if his mother has a say about it. Winner of 2013 "Comic Book Finlandia" prize, the debut work of Finnish siblings Jaako and Lauri Ahonen combines a dark story with glimmers of hope and friendship with beautifully painted illustrations and the mostly-wordless charm of a Chaplin film.
