About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small in a big world or is struggling with feelings of 'comparisonitis' regarding their peers' talents. It is an ideal choice for the child who wonders how they can possibly make a difference when facing problems that seem too large for one person to handle. The story begins with animals envying each other's traits: a bird wants a crab's claws, a crab wants a bird's wings. As they physically join together to form a hilarious, multi-talented 'mega-creature,' they discover that their combined strengths are exactly what they need to protect their home. This book explores themes of teamwork, civic engagement, and self-acceptance through a lens of absurd humor. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 8, offering a silly entry point into serious conversations about environmentalism and collective action.
