Family event: Explore Omnibirding with Giselle Clarkson

We are thrilled and delighted to announce we are going to be hosting a fabulous school holiday event with the multi-award winning Giselle Clarkson to celebrate the release of her latest book Omnibird: An Avian Investigator’s Handbook, a guide to the art and science of omnibirding.

Giselle Clarkson, the author of The Observologist, will be in Tawa for this very special event to explore the inner workings of the book and delights and wonders of the avian world.

Some birds are so commonplace it’s easy to forget how extraordinary they are. These creatures have a secret eyelid, hollow bones and a two-part brain. They dress in feathers. Omnibird, explores what’s remarkable about the birds all around us and the clues we can all use to become avian investigators.

Giselle is an author, illustrator and cartoonist based in Greytown, known for her work on conservation and environmental topics. She has illustrated award-winning picture books and nonfiction and is a 2023 Arts Foundation Laureate, receiving the prestigious Mallinson Rendel Illustrators Award.

This promises to be an unmissable event for bird and nature lovers of any age.
