Illustrated by
Lyn Gilbert.
The flute Lindiwe's mother gives her makes a horrible noise, so Lindiwe fills it with the songs of six African birds, including a hoopoe, a hornbill, and a Paradise flycatcher. Although the rounded, black-outlined acrylic illustrations are sometimes awkward, the portraits of the birds and other small African animals are quite recognizable.
