189 Canaries

2021 INDIES Winner
Gold, Picture Books, Early Reader (Children's)

Canaries are carried around the world in this informative tale with stunning illustrations. In gilded, folk art style, the early reader focuses on a miners’ canary, who revels in his days off from singing in the dark. When a bird dealer takes the canary from his cozy mountain cage, he winds up in the stuffy hull of a ship, feeling homesick. Across the sea, though, he finds a new, happy home. He’s no longer alone; he can sing all day, if he wants to.
