Description
“Every great adventure begins before sunrise…”
In a sun-drenched Gauteng garden, where dew sparkles like diamonds on the morning grass, one clever little hadeda is already up and on his way. Heya knows the oldest secret in the bird world — the early bird gets the worm! But worms, it turns out, have a few secrets of their own.
Told in joyful, bouncing verse and bursting with vibrant colour, The Early Bird is a love letter to African mornings, cheeky birds, and the magic that happens when the world is still quiet and anything feels possible. Written by Archie’s Granny — inspired by a noisy family of hadedas near her back porch, and dedicated to Archie, whose Mum longed for him to hear that unmistakable, wild, African call. A story to read, to giggle over, and to come back to — again and again.
