Cuckoo Feathers

I am an elementary school teacher and I really enjoyed reading this book and believe my student would enjoy the story as well. It was a very quick read and I would recommend it to any young reader. It has a great message for children in the book. The main character, Sarah, is not happy with anything in her life, she is jealous of the girl next door, Mercedes, because she has prettier hair, earrings, and Sarah's pigeons build a nest on Mercedes' window sill. The two end up bonding over two sets of pigeons and the Sarah learns a lesson in friendship.
