Fox and Bird

Description

Fox is desperate to gain Bird's affection, and does everything she orders him to do. But when Bird goes too far and Fox stops caring about her, Bird goes to just as great lengths to regain Fox's admiration. An exquisite story of friendship by the inimitable Edwina Wyatt and emerging illustrator Alice Lindstrom.

Edwina Wyatt grew up in Sydney, Australia. She worked as a lawyer and a high school teacher before becoming a writer of books for children. Her books with Hardie Grant Egmont include Fox & Bird,Together Always (CBCA Notable), In the Evening (CBCA Notable) and PONK! Edwina lives on the south coast of NSW with her husband and two children. Alice studied Philosophy, graduating with a Bachelor of Humanities from the University of Adelaide. Shortly after, Alice completed a Bachelor of Design at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). After working as a theatre designer in Sydney, Alice returned to the University of Adelaide and completed a Masters of Museum Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Art History. Alice works in paper collage, using cut-and-paste techniques, painting and preparing the paper before cutting and assembling it to create textured and painterly collages. Alice's aesthetic draws on diverse influences, including mid-century illustration and design, folk art as well as Modern art movements.
