In the Nest by Anna Milbourne
This is an evocative artist-led picture book with a padded cover, illustrating the first days and weeks in a nest of young birds as they learn to fly, feed themselves and gain their independence. The lyrical text introduces children to nature, encouraging both a sense of wonder about the natural world and a respect for nature. The gently descriptive yet informative text takes the form of a story which explains how birds nurture their young.
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
