Her zoo friends believe this too. ?In this sensitively illustrated story, featuring a cast of zoo animals, Birdie the penguin has a special role to play. Until one day she gets sick and discovers that perhaps her role was not as important as she thought. She and her friends discover that the world can light itself up at night without Birdie?s song. Birdie begins to question what her purpose is. She tries to learn the jobs the other animals do, without success. She feels lost and confused ? until her zoo friends help her realize her true purpose. The author has said that she wanted to deliver the message that we all have special, unique gifts and it?s our responsibility to share them with the world. If we have a song to sing, we should sing it, whether it fills a stadium or only brings joy to one person ? it all counts. Parents, grandparents, librarians and teachers will all want to gift or recommend this book. It?s for everyone, but especially for any child who has been told they are good at something and then feels the weight of responsibility to take lessons and compete, and to be the best. Birdie Lights Up the World will inspire them to do the things they love for the pure joy of it. 650 0 $a Zoo animals $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Zoo animals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Penguins $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Penguins $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Picture books for children. 650 1 $a Picture books. 700 1 $a Mullinder, Lauren, $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=603BC9EA68C511EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
