My Dad's a Birdman

by David Almond, illustrated by Polly Dunbar - £5.99  Walker Books Ltd (2015)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781406354409 | ISBN 10: 1406354406

Join a father and daughter as they find their wings together and take to the skies in this funny, tender tale from the master of contemporary storytelling.
 
A warm and wonderfully wacky tale told with heart and hope by the Carnegie award winning author David Almond. Lizzie and Dad live in a rainy town in the north of England. It's just the two of them, and Auntie Doreen, who pops round to check Lizzie's spellings and tell Dad he's daft – and make them nice hot dumplings. But today there's something unusual going on: why is Dad building himself a pair of wings and studying the birds to see how they fly? The Great Human Bird Competition of course!
 
For readers aged: 8+
