An Explorer’s Guide to The Book of Birds
Bring creativity and wonder into your classroom with this inspiring new resource, designed especially for you to engage your learners.
An Explorer’s Guide to The Book of Birds is bursting with imaginative activities for pupils of all ages. From nature journaling and outdoor exploration to art-making and scientific enquiry, it transforms The Book of Birds, by Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane, into a creative toolkit for deeper noticing, thinking and connection with nature.
Pupils will be encouraged not just to learn about birds, but to understand them, how they live, why they matter, and what their stories reveal about our shared natural world.
What is The Book of Birds?
From the creators of The Lost Words comes a brand-new celebration of Britain’s wildlife. The Book of Birds introduces 49 declining or endangered species; from Avocets to Yellowhammers. Each is brought to life by Robert Macfarlane’s lyrical writing and Jackie Morris’s spellbinding illustrations.
Every page offers pupils a window into behaviour, habitat, flight, song, myth and meaning. It invites them to look more closely, imagine more boldly, and care more deeply.
