Yeti is an exceptionally appealing character with his small head, tiny eyes, and great hairy body. In the first of many wonderful spreads, he is depicted as mountainlike. Just as the orange bird brightens Yeti's world, these two will warm the hearts of young readers. Told with exceptional economy and striking art, this tale of an unusual friendship is a great choice for all libraries.-- "School Library Journal, November 2014"<br><br>A tale about an unlikely friendship that changes a lonely life is not a new theme, but Shireen writes with admirable restraint and fills in the narrative gaps with engaging illustrations. Her double-page spreads create potent atmosphere with carefully placed strong shapes and forthright color. Spot illustrations effectively convey easy-to-understand action and humor. Striking visuals that combine compelling use of shape, page design and color successfully carry this version of an oft-told story.-- "Kirkus Reviews, November 2014"<br><br>It's a joy to witness pensive Yeti making a new friend, as is watching him learn that he belongs somewhere. The striking visual contrast between Yeti and the bird makes every page a treat, enlivening what might otherwise have been a melancholy story. Each page has a strikingly different palette, accentuating a range of feelings from isolation to coziness. Kids who themselves feel lonely or worried will be glad to hug <i>Yeti and the Bird</i> to their chests."-- "USA Today Online, March 2015"<br><br>Little ones will be charmed by this sweet and silly story of friendship.-- "Booklist Online, February 2015"<br><br>Shireen['s]...appealing Yeti is well worth getting to know.-- "Publishers Weekly, February 2015"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nadia Shireen has been described as one of the "best and brightest picture book creators working in Britain today" (<i>The Observer</i>, London).
