Book Description
Birds and feathers are symbolic in most cultures of the world. The dove has symbolised peace, the phoenix is associated with regeneration or rebirth. Birds are often seen as messengers, indeed, pigeons have been used for this very purpose. Feathers have been, and still are, used to adorn ourselves. Think, too, of some of our common phrases: birds of a feather flock together, a feather in your cap, as light as a feather, feather-brained, you could have knocked me down with a feather, feather your nest. Feathers are ubiquitous. This collection of 33 short stories each includes references to feathers. In each story the word feather is from a different language. The stories celebrate our diversity and our commonality. They were written as a challenge over a period of 33 days.

Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
A Newbery Honor Book A beautiful and moving novel from a three-time Newbery Honor-winning author “Hope is the thing with feathers” starts the poem Frannie is reading in school. Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light—her brother Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger, her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing with feathers.” Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface. "[Frannie] is a wonderful role model for coming of age in a thoughtful way, and the book offers to teach us all about holding on to hope."—Children's Literature "A wonderful and necessary purchase for public and school libraries alike."—VOYA
