Max (the mockingbird) loves flying around and imitating the numerous sounds that he hears. What better way to make his introduction than by showcasing his talent? But after a morning of failed attempts at making a friend, Max starts to get discouraged. It turns out, not everyone likes his talent. Will he ever find a friend? Find out in this crazy adventure where Max will have to use his unique skills to survive the day, while trying to make a friend.
Max’s “birdsong” isn’t like other birdsongs because he doesn’t sing at all. He mimics the birds around him, a troublesome, but light-hearted situation that promises to elicit giggles from young and old readers alike. Huddleston crafts a compelling narrative that follows Max on his quest for friendship, learning in the process that the quirk that sets him apart from other birds, makes him a one-of-a-kind friend and very, very clever. This is a whimsical romp by artist and writer Courtney Huddleston, a very talented artist and storyteller with impressive credentials.
