Luke is a modern-day boy living in one of the most picturesque corners of Australia—the state of Queensland. Following his parents' difficult divorce, he feels lost, unable to forgive his father or accept how his family's life has changed. One day, he finds an injured bird on the street and nurses it back to health. From that moment on, his inner transformation begins. His fascination with birds helps the young protagonist overcome his childhood insecurities, find his place within his family, and discover his path in life.
Peter Carnavas has created a poignant story about sibling and parental love, betrayal, and forgiveness. His book "Birds Still Sing" is called "a little book with a huge heart."
