    About Bird Boy (An Inclusive Children’s Book)

    Take flight in this heartwarming story about a boy who learns to be true to himself at school while following his love of nature.

    Nico was new, and nervous about going to school. Everyone knew what to do and where to go, but Nico felt a little lost.

    So, he did what he loved to do:
    Watched the insects
    Sat in the grass
    And most importantly… befriended the birds.

    Before he knew it, Nico was known as BIRD BOY. But Nico didn’t mind. Soon, he made one friend, then two, as the other kids learned to appreciate Nico for who he was. Before long, Nico learned he could be completely, delighfully, himself. This dreamy story will encourage all readers to express who they are unapologetically.

    Praise

    “Nico’s vulnerability and his calm self-confidence are a heady, relatable, contradictory combination of qualities that we all possess but don’t often recognize. This is a powerful and effective message, and readers are in for a treat.” —Booklist, starred review
