About this bird:
The Rainbow Lorikeet occurs in coastal regions across northern and eastern Australia. Originally confined to forested areas, with human intervention, they’re now widely spread, commonly found in urban areas. They are often found in flocks and tend to roost in large groups. Ironically, the Rainbow Lorikeet is not only a living rainbow but also sexually monomorphic! As both the male and female Rainbow Lorikeet look identical with no visual difference between the two sexes. During courting, the male Rainbow Lorikeet tries to impress the female with a display during the mating season including hanging upside down, aerial acrobatics or bobbing, bowing and prancing! Feeding mainly on fruit, pollen and nectar, their favourites being grevilleas, bottlebrushes and banksias, they also feed on fruits and small insects. Nectar gives them energy and pollen provides protein for healthy feathers. It’s brush-like tongue enables it to collect liquid nectar from deep inside flowers. This sugary food gives them their excitable and ‘high-spirited’ personality. Now, not many people know, but they sometimes get drunk on the fermented fruit that they eat to the point that they have problems flying straight and bump into things! Hilarious! In many places, including campsites and suburban gardens, wild Rainbow Lorikeets are so comfortable with humans that they can be hand-fed. Unfortunately, however, many wild Rainbow Lorikeets suffer in these circumstances, as they are often fed an inadequate diet such as bread with honey - which can lead to health and feather formation issues in young Rainbow Lorikeet. Conservation status: Least Concern.

Beautiful book!
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful book! I read this with my son and we loved the beautiful illustrations that depicted so many different people groups. Though we are in a season where I know of so many who are experiencing “church-hurt,” The Celebration Place gave a glimpse of at least one church where all are welcome and where people don’t have to leave their ethnicity, style, or even age at the door. The energy just leaps off the page and creates a genuine sense of celebration!

An Invitation to God's Future
Format: Hardcover
I loved this little book. It is wonderfully illustrated, faithful to the eschatological vision of unity in Christ, and invitational. While not all churches today are mulit-ethnic or multi-national, that's the future, when Jesus culminates his saving work. Why not live today in light of how things will be in eternity?

Beautiful depiction of diversity AND inclusion
Format: Hardcover
This book is very inspiring and hopeful. As a person of color I love seeing the possibility of what church can look like if we welcomed and celebrated peoples’ uniquenesses. The illustrations are beautiful and there is so much joy in the words, and I’m excited for my child to grow up seeing this as the “norm”.
