The birds naivete

A Feast in the Sky. A Promise Broken. A Fall No One Forgot.

High above the clouds lies the Kingdom Above the Sky, a magical realm of crystal islands, moonlit mists and golden light, where the great Felines have celebrated for twenty-five years. When an invitation to their grand celebration reaches the earth below, the turtles long to go. There's just one problem: turtles can't fly.

So the kind-hearted birds make a generous offer. Led by brave little Pip the robin, they lend the turtles their precious feathers so they can make the journey together. But not everyone keeps their word. When Bartholomew and Gerald twist their promises for their own gain, trust is shattered, the birds take back what is theirs, and the turtles discover just how far it is from the sky to the ground.

In the spirit of the classic African folktales that have been told around evening fires for generations, The Birds Naivete is a beautifully told fable about trust, honesty, greed and forgiveness, with lessons every child (and adult) will remember.

Inside this story, young readers will discover:

• Why keeping your promises matters, and what happens when we don't

• How greed and dishonesty can hurt the people who trust us most

• The courage it takes to stand up when you've been treated unfairly

• Why being kind is wonderful, but being wise matters too

• How even after a great fall, it's possible to learn, grow and make things right

Perfect for:

• Parents looking for a meaningful bedtime story with real values

• Teachers and Sunday school leaders who love teaching through stories

• Children who enjoy animal adventures, magical kingdoms and talking creatures

• Families who want to share the wisdom of African-style folktales with the next generation

Full of wonder, humour and heart, this is a story to read, share and talk about together.
