Happy Signed Saturday! 🖊️🦢

Today we bring you ‘Swanfall’ by Sophie Kirtley! A beautiful tale about a boy who feels most like himself when he’s with nature. Every year Pip and his mum witness the swanfall, where arctic swans return from their annual migration, and record the numbers of the flock that have returned.

However, three swans seem to be missing this time around, and Pip can’t shake the nagging feeling that something is deeply wrong…

A great story about the importance of protecting wildlife, this novel is sure to be a favourite for little nature and mythology enthusiasts all over!
