“Oh Blackbird, can we have some of that blackening too? We all need what your black can do.”
The illustrations in this book are stunning. The message is a good one, but could be perceived incorrectly. I think children would benefit from a story like this, if they had guidance on the lesson being presented.
so-soLong ago, Blackbird was voted the most beautiful bird in the forest. The other birds, who were colored, were so envious that they begged Blackbird to paint their feathers with black so they could be beautiful too. Blackbird warns them that true beauty comes from within, but the other birds persist. Soon, each is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings.
