Why read it?

1 author picked Now I'm a Bird as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A heartfelt story about a little girl who had feathers. And how her feathers eventually filled in and her arms became wings.

She was made fun of by some classmates, but as she started to stand up for herself, she found a flock of friends who were just as different. If you ever feel like you are an outcast, this is a book for you. I love this story about how it's ok to be different. You never know who else feels the same way. 

From Benson's list on inclusion and being true to yourself.
