Two Many Birds

Cindy Derby's "Two Many Birds" is a humorous and insightful picture book that uses an allegorical story about a tree of birds to explore themes of rules, community, and inclusion. A strict monitor enforces absurd regulations on the 100 birds in the tree, but the system is challenged when two new birds are born. This book is perfect for sparking conversations with children aged 4-8 about fairness, empathy, and how societies adapt to new members, all while delivering plenty of laughs. It's a clever way to discuss social issues in an accessible, engaging format.

Filled with heart, humor, and relevance, this side-splitting picture book, Two Many Birds, by author/illustrator Cindy Derby, opens minds and entertains all at once. As birds line up to perch on a tree, a monitor shouts rules at them: No fluffin' feathers! No pooping on the ground! No nudity! Eventually, the tree fills to capactiy (100 birds), but what happens when two more are accidentally born among the branches?
