Look! A Bird!

Look! A Bird! by Anya Serota is a bright, observant picture book that invites children to slow down and notice the small wonders right outside their window. Warmly written by London-based writer, mother and publisher Serota, it’s a gentle celebration of curiosity and shared attention.

At its heart is a simple, joyful idea: spotting a bird can turn an ordinary moment into a tiny adventure. The story guides young readers through the rhythms of looking, listening and discovering, paired with Christine Berrie’s richly coloured, finely detailed pencil illustrations. Berrie—an award-trained Glasgow School of Art and Royal College of Art graduate—brings an artist’s eye to every page, making it a treat for repeat read-alouds.

Perfect for preschool and early primary kids, families who love nature books, and anyone after a calm bedtime read with beautiful illustration and everyday magic.

Add it to your shelf for a story that rewards noticing.
