Pickles is a bird of a different feather.
While the rest of the flock sticks together, Pickles does her own thing. They practice their downward spirals; Pickles practices her downward dog. They chatter away; Pickles meditates. But when danger arrives, Pickles is the only bird who isn't scared. Will the flock learn from Pickles, or will they all become hawk soup?
Full of humor--and even some bird yoga--Be Your Own Bird teaches kids about mindfulness, self-confidence, and the importance of always being themselves.
