Reach for this book when your child feels small in a world of big personalities or is struggling with the frustration of physical limitations. It is a gentle yet powerful remedy for the 'I can't do it because I'm little' blues. Through a beautifully illustrated retelling of a classic fable, Jane Goodall introduces us to a community of birds who hold a contest to see who can fly the highest. While the powerful Eagle seems destined to win through sheer strength, the tiny Wren uses her wits and a bit of stealth to reach the clouds. This story is a masterclass in cleverness and resilience for children aged 4 to 8. It validates that strength comes in many forms: sometimes it is the power of a wingbeat, but often it is the brightness of a quiet mind. Parents will find it an ideal tool for discussing fairness, the value of teamwork versus individual glory, and the importance of self-confidence when facing daunting challenges.
