This easy-to-read book combines information, story and stunning nature images. Go on a nature adventure with the birds! Illustrated with stunning nature photography, this children's book follows a bird on its adventure back to its nesting pond. What kind of adventures can a flightless poppy face with its siblings when the little swimmers suddenly become pedestrians?

Meet the Bird Family sheds light on the habitat of waterfowls and the diverse inhabitants on land, in water and in the air. On his expedition, the goldeneye makes many new acquaintances, including an owl, a gnat, a raccoon, a weasel and a cockatoo. None of them is a substitute for its own mother, and some are downright dangerous.

This easy-to-read book is an irresistible combination of information, story and stunning nature photography - perfect for family reading time. Previous titles in the series include Meet the Fox Family (2020), Meet the Bear Family (2021) and Meet the Wolf Family (2022).

Nature photographer Hannu Laakso's children's book about the life of little goldeneyes is a quality work in every respect.
