The Bird Book

The Bird Book is a children’s alphabet book by artist and educator, Brian D. Cohen, with rhyming couplets written by Holiday Eames. Created for their son, David, each letter of the alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase, corresponds to the bird illustrated on each page. The description can be read aloud to especially inquisitive children, or be enjoyed by an adult reader alike.  

These stunning prints will also appeal to adults interested in art books, small press books, printmaking, and birds. Their children and grandchildren will thank the parents and gift givers as well, for the birds in the book, and the accompanying couplets will open up a world of art and poetry that will become a family favorite.  

One of our first children’s titles, the relief etchings of this one-of-a-kind alphabet book will become a classic and an introduction to letters as well as to the birds that inhabit the earth and a child’s imagination.
