Book Synopsis

Woodpeckers are known for making perfectly O-shaped holes to build their nests in. All, except one woodpecker – Picopaco. Unlike all the other birds she chooses to live in a little wooden house with a red roof. The other birds laugh at her strange ways, until one day a big storm arrives ruining all the nests.The woodpeckers must rebuild their homes stronger than ever before, but they have one problem not one of them knows how to build a house – all except Picopaco. Perhaps they might learn a thing or two from Picopaco after all?

Our Review Panel says...

Picopaco is a sweet picturebook about a woodpecker who, instead of making o-shaped tree holes to nest in like her peers, builds a unique and quirky house of her own design, even though she is laughed at by the other birds. When a storm destroys most of the nests, Picopaco’s wisdom is required to help rebuild what has been lost.

Illustrated in spring-like tones that sing of new beginnings, this story beautifully champions the power of community, subtly highlighting how working together builds a stronger world.

A great choice for nature lovers and gentle storytimes with young children.
