The Lost Fat Bird Sanet Smit

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.
