Author Description

What if being different helps you make a difference? To teach those around us, accept what we are, and be happy with what we have. When a house bird gets out of his cage and flies to the roof of the school across the road, he quickly learns valuable lessons after he gets scared and teased by what seems to be bully birds. He then befriends a kind and helpful bird who helps him get back home. In his adventures, he learns to know different types of birds and that being different is entirely acceptable, and that we must be content with what we have. Endorsement: I have known the author, Sanet, for quite some time and found her enthusiasm, determination, and forthrightness both endearing and a breath of fresh air amongst so many voices in the marketplace. It is with delight that I see her passion for telling beautiful positive stories bear fruit. 'The Little Fat Bird' doesn't disappoint. It explains to children that you can be different and still have friends. %Pastor Jenny Ruddy, Counselor The Lost Fat Bird teaches children to accept what they are and to be happy with what they have. We seem to forget that what we need we already have, and we are blinded by things that are not important. To be kind and friendly is a gift. It costs us nothing to be caring, supportive, and sharing. To be content with life as such is a valuable lesson and principle %Leonie Shipman, Early Childhood Educator About the Author: As a young child, Sanet would conjure up stories, share them with anyone who would listen.
