The Dead Bird by Margaret Wise Brown, Illustrated by Christian Robinson

 August 13, 2015

We are so proud of our pal, and member of the Red Cap family, Christian Robinson! This new edition of The Dead Bird, by Margaret Wise Brown, is due to be released in Spring of 2016. “

Finding a still warm but dead bird, a group of children give it a fitting burial and every day, until they forget, come again to the woods to sing to the dead bird and place fresh flowers on its grave. An excellent handling of the subject of death in which all young children have a natural interest.’ —BL.“

We are so proud of you, Christian, and can't wait to see more! View more photos of Christian Robinson's work and sneak peeks of The Dead Bird at his website or Instagram.
