Everything was ready for her first day back at school. An unexpected guest in the form of a strange bird turned up, perched itself on the little girl’s shoulder, and then wouldn’t budge. It jabbered, talked, gave its opinion… and criticized. And so it became impossible for the little girl to find new friends or even to listen to her teacher. Up until the moment a budding friendship made the scornful bird flee.

A magnificent picture book written and illustrated by Sibylle Delacroix who addresses with intelligence and sensitivity the fears and prejudices that often keep us from moving forward.

A book full of poetic charm, accessible to children.
