Nerdy Birdy Tweets is a witty, modern picture book about friendship in the age of social media. Nerdy Birdy and his best friend, Vulture, don’t have much in common—he loves video games, she loves snacking on things he finds disgusting—but they care about each other deeply.
When Nerdy Birdy joins a new platform called Tweetster, he’s suddenly surrounded by online friends and instant attention. As the notifications pile up, Vulture begins to feel left out and hurt. An impulsive online joke goes too far, and Nerdy Birdy has to decide what kind of friend he really wants to be.
This colourful story offers a gentle way to talk with children about screen time, empathy, and how our actions online can affect others in real life. Light-hearted humour and expressive bird characters keep the tone fun while still opening the door to meaningful conversations about kindness and respect.
