The new captivating nonfiction picture book by Britta Teckentrup. Following the bestseller "The Egg," Britta Teckentrup once again explores the world of birds, this time focusing on feathers. Feathers come in the most vibrant colors and countless patterns, serving a variety of functions: they keep birds warm, and are essential for flying or swimming. While the peacock displays its magnificent tail to attract a mate, the kiwi tries to blend in with its brown feathers. Humans have also used feathers since ancient times for decoration or ritual purposes. Britta Teckentrup's unique illustrations bring to life the diverse factual information.
