Liarbird.
Lyrebirds learn to lie from the day they hatch. They are the best in the bush at fibbing, faking, fabricating and fake-news creating. Until one lyrebird decides to go straight, and discovers that sometimes even the truth hurts.
Liarbird is written by my better half, Laura Bunting, and published in Australia by Scholastic Australia (Sep 2019). Liarbird is (or soon will be) published in France by Kaléidoscope, in Turkey by Marti Publishing, and in Taiwan by the China Times Publishing Company.
