Albert By Donna Jo Napoli Illustrated by Jim LaMarche
Albert doesn't have the courage to venture out into the world, so he sits all alone. One day while he investigates the world outside his window, his arm is mistaken, by a bird, for a tree branch. Albert allows the bird to make a nest in his hand and he doesn't want to disturb the nest. Albert becomes a part of the bird family. He chirps and is fed by the father bird, he keeps the eggs warm and encourages young birds to fly. Being part of the world, Albert finds the courage he needs to enter the world around him. This is a modern fairy tale about belonging and courage. I recommend this book for children and adults. I was first attracted to this book by the beautiful illustrations.
