Rob Ramsden introduces I heard a Bird

I heard a Bird is the final title from In the Garden, a series to introduce very young children to the natural world.

I heard a bird.

I breathed in – listening.

I heard my breathing, my heart beating . . .

A little girl hears a bird which is frightened away by some cats fighting. As she searches for her bird, she encounters many other intriguing animals and insects. Then, after sitting down to listen to and enjoy the sounds of nature all around, suddenly her bird comes back!
