As children are playing in nature, observing bugs, bees and birds, they notice many injured birds on the ground. Entering the forest to see what happens, they find birds that are not as free as they have thought. Some are under nets, some are caged, and some are tied up to a branch. 
 
What can the birds do to regain their freedom?
What will happen if they all try to fly away?
 
"The Call of The Birds" is one of the books in the first series of social-driven picture books, Wadwang Nangsue, that have stirred the traditional view and expectation of children's books in Thailand. The two book sets attempt not only to develop the children but also to move the whole society forward to the kinder and more open-minded ideal.
