Join Eugene and his family in this children’s early chapter book series as they move to a wild and windy bird sanctuary in New Zealand. Eugene arrives on the island on his birthday but nothing is working out as planned. Can he find a way to make this birthday special and enjoy his new home? Written by Elizabeth Kirkby-McLeod and illustrated by Anna McKessar, suits 5-8 year old independent readers or to read aloud to younger children. Eugene is a relatable character that I know my students will love getting to know more. We can’t wait to read about his future adventures. - Jessie Eyre, teacher
