Synopsis
Jackdaw is excited to invite his friends to his party, but when he calls out, the animals only touch their heads. Confused, Jackdaw doesn't realise they're warning him of impending danger. With the help of a wise brown owl, he learns about the importance of understanding different ways of communication. This engaging tale, created by Julia Donaldson alongside deaf children, highlights friendship and introduces young readers to sign language.
