My Dad’s a Birdman

by David Almond

Lizzie lives with her dad in a rainy northern town, with Auntie Doreen nearby to check her spellings and keep Dad in line—with hot dumplings, of course.

But today, something unusual is happening. Dad is building wings and watching the birds… because he’s entering the Great Human Bird Competition!
