Praise and Reviews
"The ephemeral arc of childhood woe is captured beautifully, in deft text and brightly coloured illustrations in an appealing and effective mix of styles: graphic, black-outlined animals at play in not-quite-realistic wildflower meadows."
— The Globe and Mail
"Tankard’s illustrations are part of the joy of reading his books.
The combination of ink and digital photography is both sophisticated
and playful. The theme of friendship coupled with Tankard’s
whimsical visuals makes Boo Hoo Bird an ideal book for storytime.
Kids will also be able to follow along with the bold typeface, and
the “Boo
Hoo Hoos” and “Bonks” are extra-large, encouraging everyone to join
in the reading.
Tankard has solidified his signature character in this latest book, and it’s safe to say kids will be eagerly waiting to see what Bird does next."

Praise and Reviews
"...an uplifting read...a rare picture book that is equally enjoyable for toddlers, early readers, and adults. Every page is a deeply saturated delight.."
— Quill & Quire, starred review
"Grumpy Bird would make a good addition to storytimes with themes of emotions or imagination."
— School Library Journal
“Jeremy Tankard’s deceptively simple tale is a useful tonic for moody kids — and their parents — but the best thing about it is the comic perfection of Bird’s face as he marches along in a fury.”
— The Wall Street Journal
