Meet Australia’s most misunderstood bird . The bold, curious, and endlessly clever Australian white Ibis, known to many as the “Bin Chicken.”

When teasing words make him wonder if he’s truly so bad, the white Ibis sets off around the world to meet his ibis cousins. From the sacred temples of Egypt to the mangroves of South America. Along the way, he discovers that beauty, fame, and even invisibility each come with their own lessons.

By the time he returns home to Sydney, our Bin Chicken has learned that being different isn’t something to hide. It’s something to celebrate.

A heartfelt, humorous, and beautifully illustrated journey about belonging, self-acceptance, and finding pride in who you are.
