Another Greg Foley written and illustrated winner is Purple Little Bird (2011, Balzer + Bray). In this story, Purple Little Bird loves everything purple. One day, he feels he’s missing something and he goes on an adventure looking for what it could be. No other place he finds feels like home, but he finds what he was missing in his purple life. Purple Little Bird has a sweet story, it teaches a young reader colors, and it reminds us that diversity makes life more interesting. Look inside the book at Amazon.
