Lali's Feather

Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged because they do not have the newest toy or when they seem to have lost their creative spark. It is a perfect choice for teaching children that value is something we define for ourselves, rather than something determined by others. This gentle story follows Lali, a young girl in India who finds a plain feather. While the local birds claim it is worthless because it cannot fly or sing, Lali uses her imagination to find endless uses for it. It is a beautiful lesson in resourcefulness and joy. Suitable for children ages 4 to 8, this book is ideal for parents who want to encourage independent thinking and an appreciation for the simple wonders of nature. It celebrates the power of a child's perspective in a world that often prioritizes material worth.
