The Proudest Bird in the World by Mama G

Gilbert is a plain white bird, but worries their colour doesn’t quite suit their spirit. After failed attempts to find a new colour, Gilbert is almost ready to give up. That is, until they fly into a park filled with music, dancing, and a magnificent rainbow flag! Follow Gilbert in this heartwarming tale as they learn you don’t need fancy feathers to show your true colours. 

A beautiful celebration of inclusion, love, and the joy of being exactly who you are.
