A bird on my shoulder

Our story is about a very sensitive issue, young children ‘s self – confidence and self – confidence. The author works from a completely original angle: the small inner voice we all hear, (yes the one that discourages, reduces, limits the best intentions sometimes) takes the form of a bird resting on the shoulder of our heroine, chatting with her, gaining more and more power. It is becoming more and more imposing. And there comes a time when it becomes so strong, almost unstoppable. And while our little heroine wanted to make friends, to play with them, she is slowly isolating herself and listening only to the beautiful colorful bird. At first she looked beautiful, he came to rest on her shoulder and speaks his own language. A language that only the two of them understand. A language that builds an invisible wall between her and the other children… And little by little the bird grows up, speaks louder and louder, while the girl is silent… in the shadow of the invading companion who isolates her from the others around her.

She wants to get rid of it, to tear down the wall, but she does not know how, until a classmate realizes her concern and reaches out. And everything changes! A beautiful story that touches us and that can be interpreted in various ways. Children affected by an invasive contraction, a lack of self-esteem, can be found in the place of our heroine. It also touches on the hot topic of harassment and how to deal with it. A book full of reasons for these little big questions and discussions of young children that are gently uncovered, depending of course on their sensitivity and ability to detach themselves from reality and travel to magical places where anything can happen.
