A bird swallows a star, glowing like a diamond, and is shunned by others. Alone in the vast desert, he meets a mysterious traveler who sees beyond his brightness. As they journey together, the bird learns the power of friendship and acceptance. What secrets does the traveler hold, and can the bird find his place in a world that fears his light? This enchanting tale invites readers to explore themes of difference and belonging, leaving them to wonder about the magic of unexpected friendships and the beauty of being unique.
From the publisher
One night, a bird swallows a star, making him as bright as a diamond. Because of that, nobody wants him around. Except . . . an amazing traveler who crosses the vast desert. Discover how one little bird, who is excluded by all of his fellow animals for being different, is able to find solace and friendship after shedding a few glittering tears. The text plays on repetition to help build confidence in emerging readers, and the wonder of what follows and the open ending encourage everyone to let their imaginations shine.
