The Proudest Bird in the World
Gilbert is a plain white bird, but worries their colour doesn’t quite suit their spirit. After failed attempts to find a new colour, Gilbert is almost ready to give up. That is, until they fly into a park filled with music, dancing, and a magnificent rainbow flag! Follow Gilbert in this heartwarming tale as they learn you don’t need fancy feathers to show your true colours. A beautiful celebration of inclusion, love, and the joy of being exactly who you are.
Pre-Order NowMama G has been a panto professional for almost twenty years, appearing in productions all over the country, as well as writing, directing, and producing pantomimes for theatres and holiday parks. During that time she has worked with iconic soap stars such a Leslie Grantham and Lisa Riley, members of pop acts such as Boyzone and B*Witched, and British entertainment legends like Paul Daniels and Tommy Steele.
Since 2018, she has been sharing stories with children, and their families, about being who you want and loving who you are. The work has taken her to libraries, theatres, schools and festivals; including the Hay Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival and even ZSL London Zoo! She is known for telling her own original stories, but she also regularly teams up with publishers such as Andersen Press and Walker Books to promote their range of classic and new publications.
In 2023, she made her Off-Broadway debut with her award-winning show The Magic Bookmark, and October will see the release of her first traditionally published book, Oh Yes I Am!
Mama G is available in a range of iterations, including her popular Story Time with Mama G sessions that regularly visit venues around the UK.
