Isn't it interesting that when you are born, you are given a name and don't choose it yourself? Well, for birds that's also the same. Except that birds don't give each other a name. Birds are given names by humans. And humans don't just call them 'Birds.' Afterall, that would be just ordinary. Mr Toad didn't agree that everyone has a special name.

This is a charming story about the importance of identity, friendship and self-expression. It encompasses adventures in remote Australian towns like Broken Hill, as the story unfolds from far and beyond Shirley's Garden in Kiama in Australia.
Autorenporträt
Dr Diann Rodgers-Healey in her fiction work imagines worlds within worlds to whimsically celebrate life. A published non-fiction author, academic, consultant and teacher, her love for imagining grew as a young observer of extraordinary worlds living in Asia. Her love for literature developed in Australia as an English scholar and teacher, but really blossomed when she became mindful of life amongst the smallest creatures and inanimate objects celebrating life in her garden. Her stories offer meaning and warmth for children and the young at heart. Follow her work at animaginarium.com website and at ShirleysImaginarium at Youtube.Diann is also the Founder and Principal of the Australian Centre for Leadership for Women (ACLW) - a virtual Centre which she founded in 2000.
