What if being different helps you make a difference? To teach those around us, accept what we are, and be happy with what we have. When a house bird gets out of his cage and flies to the roof of the school across the road, he quickly learns valuable lessons after he gets scared and teased by what seems to be bully birds. He then befriends a kind and helpful bird who helps him get back home. In his adventures, he learns to know different types of birds and that being different is entirely acceptable, and that we must be content with what we have.


Interesting facts to teach children important lessons through fun storylines: 

The Lost Fat Bird teaches about the following:

·        The different kinds of birds in nature.

·        The survival skills in nature. But unfortunately, this fat bird couldn't find a blankie, cage, or seed bowl in nature.

·        You can find a friend in anyone if you are kind and not a bully.

·        Happy reunions with those who love each other.

It teaches about all these and our choice to be happy with what we have - that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Freedom and home are where our hearts are.

Industry Reviews

I have known the author, Sanet, for quite some time and found her enthusiasm, determination, and forthrightness both endearing and a breath of fresh air amongst so many voices in the marketplace. It is with delight that I see her passion for telling beautiful positive stories bear fruit. 'The Little Fat Bird' doesn't disappoint. It explains to children that you can be different and still have friends.

The Lost Fat Bird teaches children to accept what they are and to be happy with what they have. We seem to forget that what we need we already have, and we are blinded by things that are not important. To be kind and friendly is a gift. It costs us nothing to be caring, supportive, and sharing. To be content with life as such is a valuable lesson and principle

?Leonie Shipman, Early Childhood Educator

 

Children are so easily distracted these days by peer pressure and worldly affairs. The Lost Fat Bird teaches children the great importance of their loved ones and appreciates those who care for them.
