Stark and beautiful, Rainbow Bird is a book of rare insight. More than a children's book, or an art book, this is a work of pain, hope, and simple, profound truth. An unseen, unnamed narrator takes us on a journey through fear, uncertainty and despair to hope. Every page challenges us to think and, above all, to feel. Created by a fourteen year old, Rainbow Bird has something to say to everyone, young and old. 'A painful Australian story is here distilled and transformed through remarkable prose and image.' - Eva Sallis 'A beautiful and moving book.' - Arnold Zable Czenya Cavouras' inspiration to write Rainbow Bird came from conversations with her grandfather about his trips to Port Augusta. She believes it will strike a chord with readers of all ages and challenge them to imagine themselves in a similar situation and how they might respond. Named a 'Notable Book' by the Children's Book Council of Australia.
