The Dancing Birds
of Paradise

Macca the Kookaburra loves dancing but always feels out of place… until a terrible storm blows him off course and into an unfamiliar land filled with colour and dance.

Will his journey across seas be the new start he’s been looking for?

This is a feel-good tale about having the courage to do what you love, even if you feel “different”- and finding your troop!

Inspired by the worlds most extraordinary Birds of Paradise in New Guinea and their unique dancing, Macca the Aussie Kookaburra loves to dance and finds himself swept up in their world.

Meet a number of the Birds of Paradise as Macca is introduced and watch what happens when he flies completely out of his comfort zone!

The names of the Birds of Paradise characters are inspired by their scientific names, as noted in the awe-inspiring Birds of Paradise book by Tim Laman and Edwin Scholes.

My dream is for this story to be turned into a movie to bring the dancing and music to life, but even more so to shine the light on these amazing birds so we can protect their habitat for future generations to come.
