BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Swallowing a star changed the bird. Now he’s bright as a diamond and no one wants to be his friend.
Readers follow this bird as he tries to find where he belongs, a universal struggle. The bird’s persistence pays off but not right away. I love the reality of multiple attempts to find the best solution, and I love the simplistic style of Demuro’s illustrations.
