Bookroo's summary
Mrs. Owl is tasked with delivering lunch to Mr. Peacock's child at school. Confidently, Mr. Peacock insists his child is the most beautiful. But in a vibrant world of colorful birds, will beauty be enough to identify the right one? As Mrs. Owl navigates this challenge, Mr. Peacock may discover a lesson in humility. Dive into a tale where appearances are questioned and true beauty is revealed.
From the publisher
Kind Mrs. Owl is asked by proud Mr. Peacock to take his child’s lunch to school. “How shall I know,” she asked, “which one is your son?” Mr. Peacock laughed and preened himself. “Just give it to the most beautiful child there,” he said. With a deliciously satisfying ending, Mr. Peacock learns his lesson. Gloriously colorful, packed with birds of every hue, Papas’s energy for life sings out of every illustration.
