Little mynah! Not so little, not so ordinary.
Little Mynah had a lot to explore about the world but she feels that the world doesn’t notice her coz she is not special like the other “fancier” birds. Will she be able to find her confidence?
With a daughter who is on the smaller size, this book was read and re-read multiple times in our home. The illustrations are gorgeous and the story is empowering. As if that is not enough, this story also is multilingual and a wonderful addition to multicultural libraries looking to show kids the beauty of world languages.
My kids are 8 and 11, who enjoy reading. They give this book a huge thumbs up!
I specially liked the fact that I could also bring home the importance of different species of birds, and the impact the current environmental changes have had on birds recently. I think it is wonderful to have stories that highlight crucial issues in a light and vibrant way.
BOOK DESCRIPTON
Little Mynah wishes she was not so ordinary. But when her friend, the magnificent Heron, gets into trouble she flies into action and discovers that even ordinary little birds can do extraordinary things. This is the first multilingual picture book in a series to be published by Epigram Books that introduces preschoolers and early primary kids to the diverse languages and cultures of Singapore. Underlying this first adventure with Little Mynah is the importance of environmental conservation.
