About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has a secret passion or a quirky talent they are hesitant to share with the world. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels overlooked or pressured to fit into a boring, conventional mold. Lenore is a quiet secretary by day, but her life is transformed by her love for her performing birds and her eventual courage to step into the limelight. This story celebrates self-expression and the joy of finding one's tribe. Through Lenore's journey from a drab office to the stage of Amateur Hour, children see that being different is a superpower. It is a gentle, humorous nudge for kids aged 4 to 8 to embrace their eccentricities and realize that even the quietest people can have the most colorful inner lives.

The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on social isolation and the feeling of being an 'outsider' in a professional environment, but the approach is lighthearted and humorous. The resolution is triumphant and hopeful.
