Grumpy Wildebeest and the Chatterbird

A shaggy-maned wildebeest sits with his legs tucked in and holds a big, crinkly newspaper. His eyebrows squeeze into a serious frown as he studies the tiny lines. Curved horns frame his face, and his tail curls like a question mark behind him. Strong hooves pinch the pages so they do not flutter away.

On his horn, a cheeky little bird balances and sings, wings stretched wide. The bird’s beak opens mid-chirp, like he is reading the headlines out loud. Tufts of hair ruffle around the wildebeest’s ears while he tries to keep his cool. The scene feels playful and busy, with quiet reading and loud chirping happening at the same time.
