The Boy Who Loved Birds

September 19, 2022 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

There’s something special about Lavanya Karthik’s Dreamers series. With so little, each book does so much!

The Boy Who Loved Birds is about Salim Ali as a boy. What questions did he have? What led him to become a world-famous ornithologist?

Like all the other books in the series, the illustrations in The Boy Who Loved Birds are gorgeous. Accompanied by simple text, the book invites us to keep turning the pages, following little Saloo as he searches for answers. Are there different kinds of sparrows? Can Saloo brave the Natural History Museum and find out?

A lovely, slim book, The Boy Who Loved Birds is the perfect addition to a beautiful series.
