Little Red Bird A Tale Told in Rhyme

A parent might reach for this book when their child is facing a big change, like moving to a new home or school, and feels lonely or uprooted. Little Red Bird is a gentle, rhyming story about a bird who is separated from its family by a storm. The bird spends a long time traveling alone, experiencing sadness and isolation through the changing seasons. Eventually, it finds a new, unconventional home and a sense of belonging in a city park with a stone bird statue. This quiet story beautifully addresses themes of resilience, loneliness, and the idea that family and home can be found in unexpected places. The simple text and expressive illustrations make it perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary children. It's a comforting read that normalizes feelings of sadness after a loss or a big move and shows that new beginnings are possible.
