Where the Lyrebird Lives
**Winner, Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year 2023, Early Childhood**
High in the mountains through the sleepy clouds. Deep in the forest past the chiming birds. Will we see the lyrebird? I don’t know. Tip-toe, tip-toe.
The beauty of the Australian rainforest and the magic of family-time come together in this lyrical and delightful story of intergenerational connection, habitat and adventure.
