Book excerpt: Curious little Annabeth finds an injured little sunbird in a park that was once a lovely forest. 10 year old author Mahdiyyah uses her imagination to describe Annabeths kind, resourceful and responsible behaviour in helping the sunbird. What does Annabeth do to help this threatened species? Did deforestation lead to the birds fate and will she be able to fly again? A book worth keeping in all libraries to inspire children around the world to write, at the same time creating awareness about birdlife conservation. The message is to simply be kind, responsible and resourceful! Khadija Ismail, Crescent Montessori School, Polokwane, South Africa
