I NEED a Parrot

Chris McKimmie

But what does a parrot need? A book about wanting and needing; what a child wants and what a wild bird needs.

I Need a Parrot is a picture book full of word play and quirky illustrations that shine. The simplicity of the text in this story allows the visual narrative to sing and play.'

- Karen Hendriks, Buzz Words magazine

It makes for a thrilling read, laughing along with the recognisable wheedlings of a child in wanting something, then pushed into the thought for something other than themselves.'

- Fran Knight, ReadPlus
