The Paper Bird

Annie's fingertips used to hold every colour there is, from midsummer blue to sunrise orange. But when her classmates' sideways glances make her notice every little flaw in her drawings, her creative spark fades to grey. A beautifully illustrated story about finding joy in imperfection and making art simply for the love of it, written and illustrated by Lisa Anchin.
