May Day is a songbird celebration. But the magpies are coming for their chicks.
Rube the robin would rather sing than lead—but when a gang of bullying magpies threatens the nests of his peaceful choir, he must find the courage to stand up for them. Alongside a blind bullfinch, a brave song thrush, and a scatterbrained blue tit, Rube discovers that even the smallest birds can make a big difference.
A bold, heart-warming adventure filled with song, bravery, and unlikely friendships. Ideal for fans of M.G. Leonard's Twitchers series and readers who loved The Wild Robot, The Last Wild, and Charlotte's Web.

Reviews
“The Songbird Army” is a delightful children’s nature story that beautifully captures the power of communities coming together. Reading it to my godson was a joy, thanks to its engaging animal characters who bring the garden vividly to life. The story’s thoughtful message about overcoming bullies is presented in a gentle yet impactful way, making it perfect for young readers and listeners. It reminded me fondly of “Podkin One Ear” with its charming portrayal of animal friendships and bravery. Also, the book’s rhythm and language make it especially good to read out loud, creating an immersive and heartwarming experience for both adult and child alike. A truly rewarding read!
