Bird Boy
by Matthew Burgess
This inclusive book shares a heartwarming story about a new boy at school who felt the safest in nature. He follows his true love of the outdoors, which of course includes birds. As he sat in the grass, birds began to visit him and he soon became known as “Bird Boy.” Taking that nickname to be a compliment, he imagines himself as different birds and develops confidence. Other kids recognized his kindness as well. The subtitle “Be true to who you are” is shown throughout this book and encourages kids to be confident in who they want to be.
