Clever Crow
By Nina Lawrence
Illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft
FINALIST, 2019 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK HARDCOVER FICTION CATEGORY
SHORTLISTED, 2019 SPEECH PATHOLOGY AUSTRALIA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS
Clever Crow is an endearing and witty tale that follows the exploits of a hungry and very clever crow. Crow searches in the bush for food but he can find none. It is only when he comes across people preparing for a ceremony that his luck changes. Crow spots a big turtle egg waiting to be cooked, and he cries out, 'Yummy, food for me!' But it is not an easy task stealing a turtle egg – even for a clever crow. Crow has to be more clever than he has ever been before!
Children will love Bronwyn Bancrofts's distinctive illustrations, and how the Djambarrpuynu language translation – Yolnu language from North East Arnhem Land – is woven into the design.
