Bird
Review
By Books for Keeps
This is an outstanding book – in text, lyrical, in production values, exceptional, and in illustration, remarkable. The artwork consists of Bird’s penciled drawings of the city, overlaid with colored pictures of Bird and his family – highly effective and quite beautiful. A moving and important book that goes some way to explaining the terrible effects of addiction on one family, but leaving us with hope for Bird’s future.
