Reviews
"Birds of the Same Feather, written by Diane Hodgson, will appeal to readers of all ages. Grandparents, parents, teachers and young children will all relate to the quirky characters, illustrated by Ashley Hodgson. As you turn the brightly coloured pages, the birds of Australia learn a valuable lesson. A lesson that we can all learn from as well. Time to get reading!"
"I bought this book to read to my Grade 4/5 class this year and they love it. They easily connected with the characters and couldn't wait to find out what happened at the end. A must read for children and adults alike!"

"Recommended for kids Jk-Grade 5. We use this at our tutoring centre and have had some great feedback from Children & Parents. If you have a young kid learning how to read or in the early stages this is recommended for you."

"Birds of the same feather is a fun story about a birds challenge and how other birds have similar challenges.
Reading this story with our young girls helped them understand each friend has things you may not know about them and that is something that should be embraced and supported. The books colorful pictures and descriptive writing made the reading experience enjoyable. We highly recommend this book!"

"This is a great story about building relationships and what it takes to be friends. It has a good message that many children will find insightful. It's a great book to read with your kids, and it will create the opportunity for lots of discussion after. The author is a teacher, and I'm sure this book will read well in a classroom too. The art is lots of fun and it's nice that the author and her daughter teamed up to deliver a great story."
"This is a delightful story about friendship and acceptance. I bring this story with me to all my occasional teaching jobs and it has been a hit with all the kiddos. A definite must read for school age kids!"
