Jimmy is the smallest bird at school. Surrounded by big, tough birds, he feels different in every way and is certain he will never fit in. But when Eagle reminds him that being small isn't necessarily a weakness, Jimmy discovers how being different can also be a strength. This striking story is Jack Manning Bancroft's first foray into publishing. A powerhouse success in his own right as founder and CEO of AIME, Jack has collaborated with Australia's foremost illustrator, Bronwyn Bancroft, to create this timeless fable about difference, belonging and courage.
