The Magic Feather

Little Bear has a secret - deep inside, he feels nothing like a real bear. An empowering story about finding your own special spark, woven with magic and wonder by Sandra Dieckmann, the creator of Leaf and Waiting for Wolf.

Little Bear knows that soon the time will come for him to choose his special bear name - but how will he know what it should be, when he has no idea what makes him special?

One night the wondrous firebird swoops down and places a magic feather in Little Bear's paw. Could this enchanted feather help him discover who he truly is . . . or was the answer inside him all along?

A beautiful and empowering story about finding your own special spark, from much-loved picture book star Sandra Dieckmann.
