Synopsis

This captivating book combines storytelling with fun facts about these remarkable birds, teaching young readers about their habits, habitats, and importance in nature. Perfect for curious minds, Sir Louis Curlewy inspires a love for wildlife and encourages the protection of these treasured creatures.

A must-read for nature-loving families and budding bird enthusiasts!

MyThoughts

This is a lovely little book that is ideal for slipping into your rucksack when you go on a nature walk with a little one so that you can read it to them when, or if , you are lucky enough, as I was , to see and hear the curlews circling overhead. 

Curlews are one of my favourite birds and Sir Louis Curlewy does them proud and is a beautiful introduction to the curlew and its habitat.

There are just enough rhyming words on the page to appeal to non readers and young readers alike and plenty to discuss, both in the narrative and the paintings.

An ideal present for a young nature lover.

About Susan

Susan grew up in the Isle of Axholme where her happy, rural childhood inspired her to write a series of blogs called “Child of the Isle”, reminiscing about these times.

In March 1986, Susan moved with her young family to Orkney, off the North coast of Scotland. It was here that she started entering writing competitions, inspired as so many before her, by the area and the depth of history surrounding it.

Some years later, Susan went back to North Lincolnshire where she continued to write poetry and stories when she had the time.

The North of Scotland was too much to resist, however, and Susan now lives in Caithness. She published her first book with Crowvus in October 2018, which is available through the Crowvus website, and on Amazon.
