From the Indie Picture Book Award Winner 2024 Robert Tregoning, comes What the Crow Saw Below, a beautifully wirtten fable-like tale of hope, stunningly illustrated by Greg Stobbs.
On the tangled, twisted branches,
in a tangled, twisted wood,
stood a young crow, looking downward,
like her elders said she should.
But the curious little crow soon starts to question why the older crows always look for danger below. If she can find the courage to look up and explore the world above the treetops, perhaps she might find the freedom she longs for?

`"DO judge this book by its cover, because it's BRILLIANT!! It's lovely to spot the creatures on the forest floor hiding in leaves, tails poking out or a shiny sniffy snout... great for reading together fun... Robert and Greg Stobbs, the illustrator, are a perfect pairing!"'
