Please skip the introduction and take a look as the story (and illustrations) of the Osbick Bird, I came across it and thought it was in the spirit of the messages exchanged in this forum. brainpickings.org/2020/05/2...

Thanks for replying, I'm so glad you liked it.

Hi INK45, I remember my daughter bringing this book home from her school library some years ago, for the summer holiday, and after she'd lost interest in it, I read it night after night, having really fallen in love with the concept. Thanks so much for reminding me of the Osbick Bird!

I particularly liked the last frame, when all is left is the bird's legs

oh yes, that whole unique piece is so 'out there' and so unsentimental, and that is precisely why it is so Strong, in my opinion.

And that last frame....all things pass....

Really grips you.
