The Bird Who Swallowed a Star

nbsp;This is a unique book about kindness and inclusion. Children who’ve been shunned and ridiculed by their peers will find this story relatable. They’ll be struck by the man’s benevolence and touched by his innate ability to see goodness where others find fault. The illustrations are intriguing and elegant in their simplicity. They feature blends of neutral and dark hues with only a few sprinkles of light, more vibrant ones. Additional colors are introduced in the final spreads, but no words accompany them, leaving readers, notably those between the ages of five and nine, the alluring challenge of interpreting the conclusion.

nbsp;We all have special attributes to bring to the world. This little bird was so bright he couldn't be around his friends and ended up sad and alone until he found a place just for him. Sometimes, we all go through periods in our lives in which we feel out of place. This beautiful book will help children connect with this feeling. (Ages 5-8)
