Bookroo's summary

In a noisy flock, Henry Finch dreams of greatness. When the Beast arrives, Henry seizes his chance to prove himself. But as he faces unexpected twists, will his bravery lead to triumph or trouble? Join Henry on a whimsical journey of self-discovery and courage.

From the publisher

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.
