This 2023 CBCA notable Eve Pownall award book is inspired by pilot and zoologist Milly Formby’s flights and her adventures in her ultralight plane. The activities for this book are designed for children from Grades 1 to 6 as they are most likely to understand the messages of the story about migration, protecting the bird’s wetland home and their nesting patterns.

The activities for this book provide children with an opportunity to draw a bird, find birds hidden in the image, match birds to their foot prints and match words to their meaning.

If you want to do something that is not worksheet based you could take children outside and have them record any birds they see or follow Milly online at https://wingthreads.com/ and invite her to visit your school when she is next passing by.
