Bird Child is the story of a small, bird-like girl who stands up for a little girl who has been bullied.
Nan said:
I feel that it is important for children to learn to speak up when they witness a situation that is unfair. The book empowers children to make a difference in the life of a child in the schoolyard, so that later they can stand up for injustice in the global community.
Nan has found that many of the stories she writes revolve around the theme of social justice.
Publisher Tundra Books writes that Bird Child is
lyrical and eloquent yet realistic and down to earth. Nan Forler’s text is complemented beautifully with François Thisdale’s haunting images. This is a book for every child, every classroom, and every library.
many stories completed and many more swirling around inside my head.
She says that her next story
has a very special Grebel connection.
Bird Child is available in most bookstores as well as online. For more information, visit Nan Forler's website. Nan would love to hear from old friends!
