The Star Bird
Kęstutis Kasparavičius. Žvaigždžių paukštis (The Star Bird), Vilnius: Nieko rimto, 2022. – 32 p.
Very early one morning, a special bird shows up in a little street. Enormous, glittering and twinkling in bright colours, it seems like it has wandered here right from the stars. It leaves something
for the people living in the town… This creative, original story of a strange and beautiful miracle that happens in the most ordinary town is intended to be enjoyed by the whole family. It will fascinate readers and make them believe that miracles can sometimes be found right beside us.
