Little Bird Stories, the 10th anniversary set!
Newly designed by students in York University's Publishing Program, in collaboration with our friends at Invisible Publishing, ten beautiful paperback versions of Little Bird Anthology (2011-2021) will be available for purchase soon!
Stay tuned... and meanwhile, make room on your bookshelf for these adorable pocket-size books. (You'll need about 10cm.)
“If the typical “beach read” isn’t your ideal, here’s another idea: the new pocketbook volume in the Little Bird Stories series. […] I happen to be a big believer in little books. They’re fun to carry around and make you look infinitely cooler than anyone staring emptily at a device. At 40 pages total, this volume is the perfect length for a summer afternoon.”
