Illustrated by Inari Kiuru.
My father and I.
We went to the edge of the falls for revenge,
To find my attacker the magpie...
Luke Davies' poem 'Childhood Terror' describes in 9 lines the fear of a magpie attack and a boy's reaction as his father helps him face that fear. Together, author and illustrator have created a wonderful picture book that takes this poem and turns into a story of a dog and his pup on a journey to find the magpie. Brilliantly realised, the illustrations bring a whole new level to Davies' poetry. Tender, funny and courageous.
Ages: 5-7
