A funny little bird is a wonderful book about an almost invisible bird that wants to be noticed. To make himself stand out, he begins to gather feathers, leaves, and other items nature has left behind. Feeling pretty good about himself, in a visibly showy way, all is well, until…Without giving it away, this funny little bird learns a very valuable lesson: We are all made in our own special way…for a reason!

A beautiful book about a bird that feels she cannot fly without her friend, the wind. So, on a day with no wind – not even a breeze – she searches, not very high and low for her friend, without success. Yet, when she has an idea to look from the tallest building, she realizes that she can fly – all by herself! A wonderful story.
