That Bird Has Arms!

By: Kate Temple, Jol Temple

Published by Little Hare Books, 2023

Roy is an ordinary bird in every way. He is not the biggest, or the smallest. His squawk is not the loudest or the quietest. He even follows the same football team as everyone else. He was very normal except for one thing - he has ARMS. Absolutely nobody knows - and Roy would like to keep it that way...

That Bird Has Arms is a story about difference and identity. It's about learning to see that what sets you apart is what makes you strong, and it's about pride in your own uniqueness.
