Matt Beasley--Author of "Birds of a Different Feather"

In a lilting tale that is fun to read aloud and sure to charm both children and adults, first-time author Matthew Beasley successfully takes on the delicate subject of diversity through the story of a judgmental Mama bird, her guileless Baby bird, and the neighboring birds who turn out to be quite the heroes, despite Mama bird's initial misgivings. From Baby bird's plaintive "I want to play with our neighbors Said Baby mama's son I'm stuck all day in this nest And I'm the only one" To his Mama's "That's the silliest thing I've ever heard You can't play with the others I don't like our neighbor birds I don't like their mothers," Birds of a Different Feather pulls the reader in with picturesque descriptions of a variety of birds and their unique personalities. With beautiful illustrations by Jennifer Morillo that help to capture the essence of the book, this is a read-aloud story that imparts wisdom through the innocent eyes of a baby bird. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=763454239&ref=profile#!/pages/Birds-of-a-different-feather/107358799331626?v=wall
