Now it's time to match them up. The blue bird goes in the blue house, the orange bird in the orange house, and so on. But wait! The birds don't agree with the narrator's choices and, much to her distress, are rebelling by swapping houses. Can the narrator make the birds see sense? Or is it possible that you just can't tell a bird by its feathers? <p/>This bighearted picture book delivers a worthwhile message with humor and great respect for young readers.--<i>The Horn Book</i> <p/>A fresh and funny take on an old moral.--<i>Kirkus <p/></i>Both Maynor's dialogue text and Juanita's digital art have a loose, improvisational feel that captures the thrill and frustration of a work in progress--and the value of empathy and flexibility in getting to know others.--<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i>Use this to open a discussion on using words rather than assumptions, or as an introduction to the way art can go in unexpected directions.--<i>The Bulletin</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A fresh and funny take on an old moral. --<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>Both Maynor's dialogue text and Juanita's digital art have a loose, improvisational feel that captures the thrill and frustration of a work in progress--and the value of empathy and flexibility in getting to know others. --<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i>Use this to open a discussion on using words rather than assumptions, or as an introduction to the way art can go in unexpected directions. --<i>The Bulletin</i> <p/>"This bighearted picture book delivers a worthwhile message with humor and great respect for young readers." --<i>The Horn Book</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Megan is also the author of <i>The Sandcastle That Lola Built</i>, <i>Helga Makes a Name for Herself, </i> <i>Ella and Penguin Stick Together</i> and <i>Ella and Penguin, A Perfect Match</i>.
