| Summary |
"An LGBTQ-inclusive story about understanding your peers, your feelings, and yourself ... a love letter to longing, belonging, and longing to belong. Birdie finds comfort in nature and books, but more than anything she longs for connection, to be understood. At school, Birdie feels like an outsider. Quiet and shy, she prefers to read by herself, rather than jump rope or swing with the other kids. That all changes when Sunny, the new girl, comes along. Like Birdie, Sunny has a nature name. She also likes to read, and loves to rescue bugs. And when Sunny smiles at her, Birdie's heart balloons like a parachute ... this book will inspire readers to honor their wishes and show the world their truest selves"-- Provided by publisher. |
