Marion Deuchars - Böcker

Best-selling author/illustrator Marion Deuchars now takes her beloved bird through a daily workout in the natural sequel to Yoga for Stiff Birds.Marion Deuchars perfectly understands the difficult relationship some of us have with our daily fitness routine. In How to be a Fit Bird she raises a smile and brings levity to our workouts, using Bob the bird to see us through a number of routines: from holistic ten-minute workouts to more specific sessions focusing on particular parts of the body.

Loosen up with a smile on your face... Marion Deuchars has practiced yoga for many years, and well knows the benefits it brings. Now she shares that passion with her illustrated character Bob the Bird, whose expressive poses will charm you into a reviving session of yoga breathing, stretching, posing, and mindfulness. Yoga for Stiff Birds rejects the clichés of studio photography in favour of a more immediate, inviting, look. With a few brush strokes Marion helps Bob into every position from the downward-facing dog to the tree; both useful and inspiring, her art will raise a smile, whether you’re a regular practitioner or a yoga novice, and will encourage even the creakiest reader to breathe, stretch, and bend like they never have before.

An enduring story about discovering what makes us unique, with a special arty spin. Bob’s bullies tease him for having skinny legs. Feeling self-conscious, at first he tries to change them, then he tries to hide them. Until art gives him confidence to express and be himself - and even his bullies are impressed.
