A magnificent murder of crows attempt to educate a young crow in this beautifully-written fast-paced foray into the forest. That is until the curious young crow has a thought and starts to wonder what there is above their safe tree tops. Consumed by the perils below the crows had never dared to look above and investigate the possibilities.
Stunningly illustrated this story is about courage and encouraging others to see things with fresh eyes and challenge the status quo. On closer inspection the brave young crow realises that all is not as it seems and that the hazard-heeding hoots of her peers were all uncalled for.
Her bravery is rewarded by a big and bright and blue and white world of colour and companionship as she finds a sky full of birds in every colour, shape and size. A wonderful book from Indie Picture Book Award Winner 2024 Robert Tregoning complemented by stunning illustrations from Greg Stobbs.

What the Crow Saw Below Synopsis
From the Indie Picture Book Award Winner 2024 Robert Tregoning, comes What the Crow Saw Below, a beautifully written fable-like tale of hope, with a strong theme about not making judgements based on the opinions of others, stunningly illustrated by Greg Stobbs.
On the tangled, twisted branches, in a tangled, twisted wood, stood a young crow, looking downward, like her elders said she should. But the curious little crow soon starts to question why the older crows always look for danger below. If she can find the courage to look up and explore the world above the treetops, perhaps she might find the freedom she longs for?
