A little blue songbird longs to sing like her sisters. But whenever she tries, she cannot get the tune right. Her mother encourages her to leave home and find a song that only she can sing.

With courage and tenacity, she travels the world, seeking advice from a crane, an owl, and a mean-looking crow, and other birds, hoping they will lead her to her special song.

Told in gentle, lyrical prose and with bright, beautiful watercolor illustrations, The Blue Songbird is an empowering story for kids of all shapes, sizes, and singing ability.

Genre:

    -School Library Journal
  • "A sweet tale about a little bird that affirms the old adage: there's no place like home."
    -Booklist
  • "A hauntingly sweet melody that resonates of home, family, love, and unique life experiences."
    -Foreword Reviews
  • "The spare backgrounds and the delicacy of the landscapes recall Japanese watercolors. The tale is a familiar one... but it's told with grace."
    -Kirkus Reviews
  • "Perfectly rendered in text and illustrations, The Blue Songbird is an encouraging tale for young and old alike to keep searching for who they really are and what they desire in life."
