My husband was introduced to Matt Sewell’s illustrations through work, and somehow we ended up stumbling upon his charming little book entitled Our Garden Birds which highlights 52 different garden birds found in Britain.  On every page is a different bird illustration and a sweet little description about the bird and its charming characteristics (cute for kids and a handy reference for grown-ups as well!).

I sat down with my kids last week to look at the birds and point out all the ones we’ve seen in our own garden… and the kids were so taken by the illustrations and pretty watercolours that they decided to make their own birds.  It was such a fun little project, and I liked their birds so much I ended up framing a few of them.
