My Beautiful Birds: 06/25/19
My Beautiful Birds by Suzanne Del Rizzo is a picture book about the civil war in Syria from the point of view of a boy who has had to leave his pet pigeons behind. Sami and his family and neighbors make the long walk to a refugee camp. Behind them smoke billows over the remains of their city. Life in the camp is primitive and heartbreaking. Eventually, though, Sami meets some new birds and manages to befriend them, thus making life a little easier for himself. The illustrations are multi media collage. The primary medium is plasticine clay but other items are included to bring texture and dimension to the pages. Samples of her work are available on her website. Four stars Comments (0)
