Just Like Flying: Wheels Not Wings for Baby Stanley

By Catherine A Thornton

A sweet and funny read-aloud picture book for kids approximately ages 4-8: Stanley, the cutest baby pigeon, was born with one much smaller wing. Everyone at the farm and sanctuary helps him learn how to fly-without wings This series is huge on heart, kindness, the acceptance and embrace of differences, and humor, too. The setting is Honey Bee Farm, a wonderful place that combines a working farm selling honey and homemade jams with an animal sanctuary-a safe and nurturing place where rescued animals can live for a while or forever, if they cannot be adopted. Either way, all the animals at Honey Bee Farm are loved and cared for by Farmer and Mrs. Bear for as long as they stay.Each story in this series covers the rescue and happily ever after of animals that come to the farm and sanctuary, whether they appear on their own or are brought by others. Each book focuses on a different animal (or family of animals), with informative pages at the end of each book through which children can learn more about the animal(s) introduced in the preceding tale. Book 1 tells the tug-at-your-heartstrings story of Stanley, the cutest baby pigeon who cannot fly in the usual way, as he was born with one wing much smaller than the other. The people and animals at the farm and sanctuary are determined to help Stanley feel loved and realize that he can still soar ... without wings What's Inside: A gentle, fun bedtime story with a kind message about friendship and helpfulnessShort, simple text - easy for new readers, easy for grownups to read aloudVibrant, cartoon-style illustrations packed with little hidden details to hunt forRecurring friends: Stanley the pigeon, Farmers Mr. and Mrs. Bear, Bob the horse, and more Themes of kindness, helpfulness, and good manners, never frightening for a young audienceFunny bedtime stories they'll love going to bed for.Enjoy More Books in the Series 1 - Just Like Flying2 - Gumdrop to the Rescue...and more
