What is Kerfuffle bird about?
In Hushville, the Hushlings are quiet, polite and careful to keep their feelings hidden. Maeve, however, longs to shout, dance and let her big feelings out. Then a noisy, colourful Kerfuffle Bird arrives, filling the peaceful town with squawks, flapping and wild fun. Maeve is delighted, but the other Hushlings soon feel overwhelmed. Can they learn to understand one another and find a happy way for quiet calm and joyful noise to live together?
