Have you ever not just wanted something, but wanted it so much that you NEED it? The main character in I NEED a Parrot wants this pet so much that he attempts to persuade the unseen figure that he should get one.

I NEED a Parrot has been recognised as picture book of 2020 by the Children’s Book Council of Australia, and has fantastic potential for readers working at Foundation to Year 2 levels.

'McKimmie's quirky play with words and illustrations will appeal widely.'— Fran Knight, ReadPlus

'This book shows the genius of a picture book. It tells a story well and leaves the child with much to think about.' — Buzz Words Magazine
