The Pink and Purple Burple Bird

By Eileen Barber and Linda Forrest

This is the tale of a majestic, colorful bird with beauty that graced Birdland. He had one bad habit that did not “fly” with his many friends. Sometimes just the right friend is all it takes to set one straight. He just needed some help with his manners to be accepted in his world of sweet twitters and tweets. Can you relate to other habits that may not be polite in your world? We all learn these lessons along the way, whether young or old, with a little help from our family and friends. These are the lessons that make us grow and be admired amongst each other.
