Description
How can you be proud of what makes you unique? From the creator of Ruby Finds a Worry, an empowering picture book about embracing and celebrating what makes you different.
Norman had always been perfectly normal . . . until one day, he grew a pair of wings! Wings are pretty great, but he's worried about what people will think, so Norman covers them up with a big coat. It's not always easy to hide such a big thing – in fact, it's very uncomfortable! Can Norman find the courage to be himself?
While we all might feel afraid about standing out sometimes, this uplifting book about daring to be different shows that there's nothing better than celebrating what makes you-you!
The Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics-from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings.

An ideal selection for storytimes.
School Library Journal
-
Percival's message is emphasized through the canny use of color as a storytelling mechanism: Norman's world is in greyscale . . . As the wings come out, Norman and everything he's near turns technicolor.
Publishers Weekly
-
The contrast of black-and-white illustrations with splashes of bright color complements the story's theme. . . . A heartwarming story about facing fears and acceptance.
Kirkus Reviews
-
Percival inserts loads of funny details in his warm-toned, cartoonish illustrations . . . Little ones willing to suspend their disbelief will appreciate this silly forest frolic.
