Nelly the Very Different Bird

A bird who can’t fly learns to do so much more in this quirky picture book about the power of being different. Nelly is left behind when the other birds migrate, but she’s not one to sit and wait; she sails seas, scales mountains, and traverses deserts to find her flock—only for them to head back as soon as she arrives. The return trip, however, comes with some company, and Nelly is happy to pass her knowledge on.
