Bravery plays out in surprising ways when a little finch starts having big thoughts. The finches live in a big flock that makes such a racket nobody can hear themselves think. But one day a small bird wakes up in quiet darkness and has a thought, and he hears it: I am Henry Finch. . . . I could be great. The next day, the Beast comes, and Henry sees his chance–but then a mouth opens wide, and the path to greatness turns out to have some unexpected twists. Delightful illustrations pair with a quirky, funny, and uplifting story for budding philosophers of all ages.
Alexis Deacon recently graduated with an honors degree in illustration from the University of Brighton and now lives in London, England. “Slow Loris,” his first picture book, was praised by “Publishers Weekly” as “a quirky tale with an entertaining twist.”
