The Queen of the Birds

A Story told by Karine Polwart

Part of Family

This event has passed.
Fun story telling for the whole family 

After a big storm, the Kingdom of Birds is looking for a leader. Will it be the bird with the loveliest song, or the brightest plumage? The fastest in the air, or underwater? And will it take just one mighty bird or a fantastic team?

All across the sky, birds are flocking together. Nightingales and Robin. Barn Owls and Blackbirds. Curlews and Cuckoos. Herons and Hoopoes. And the Eagle and Wee Jenny Wren. Let the contest begin!


Writer and folk musician Karine Polwart brings to life this vivid story of leadership and resilience, diversity and collaboration, based upon her book collaboration with Kate Leiper, which was recently shortlisted for the V&A Illustration Award. Using storytelling and song, sound and creative movement and fun quizzes, it’s suitable for 4 to 8 year olds and their families and friends.
