Bowerbird blues

For this year's Simultaneous Storytime, inspire students to connect with Aura Parker’s beautiful picture book.

Bowerbird blues encourages students to think about how they can better support the planet. This matrix contains a variety of engaging activities and resources, including designing a collaborative artwork, repurposing an object and filming a bowerbird inspired documentary.
