The King of the Birds
The King of the Birds | Acree Graham Macam
5 posts | 6 read | 12 to read
In this picture book, inspired by the life of Flannery OConnor, a young fan of fowl brings home a peacock to be the king of her collection, but he refuses to show off his colorful tail. The girl goes to great lengths to encourage the peacock to display his plumage -- she throws him a party, lets him play in the fig tree, feeds him flowers and stages a parade -- all to no avail. Then she finally stumbles on the perfect solution. When she introduces the queen of the birds -- a peahen -- to her collection, the peacock immediately displays his glorious shimmering tail. This delightful story, full of humor and heart, celebrates the legacy of a great American writer. Includes an authors note about Flannery OConnor.

The King of the Birds | Acree Graham Macam

Today on the blog, we have a Q&A with friends and collaborators Acree Graham Macam and Natalie Nelson. We asked them about their creative process, how their friendship influenced their collaboration, and what it's like to write a picture book about Flannery O'Connor.

It‘s a wonderful way to introduce young readers to Flannery O‘Connor and captures her quirkiness perfectly.

Raise your hand if you need this on your bookshelf! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Schlinkles Met them at a conference and had them for a book signing at the bookstore I manage. They‘re a lot of fun and the book is gorgeous! 7y

For Flannery O'Connor fans it will hold a special feeling for you. But the O'Connor link ignored it is still a great kids book!

Haven's (my 3 year old) Christmas book haul 🎄📚🎉. She was thrilled to get new books which makes me happy. My book haul (in the form of gift cards 😁) also makes me happy 😉

AThousandLives87 Wow! That's a beautiful Little Women edition! 8y
kyraleseberg @AThousandLives87 Little Women is my obsessive compulsive purchase; I can't resist the urge to buy an edition not already in my collection! 😁 8y
AThousandLives87 @kyraleseberg I'd love to see all your different editions!!! 8y
kyraleseberg @AThousandLives87 I tagged you in a photo of my recent copy! I need to gather the ones my parents still have of mine to get a photo of all of them together! :) 8y

I'm so happy to finally have my hands on this picture book! It's loosely based on the first essay in Mystery and Manners and features birds eating cake. Seriously, it's too cute. 😍
