Synopsis

Recommended for ages 3+.

A beautiful and powerful story for 5+ to challenge the way we view one of our most infamous birds, and ourselves.

Call me Bin Chicken
Call me Tip Turkey
Call me Picnic Pirate…
But… there is a lot more to my song than you might think.
And maybe I’ve got something to teach you too.
