CBC Showcase: Black History Month

A whimsical story that has four multi-cultural children imagining what life would be like as a pet parrot.

coverIf You Were a Parrot

by Katherine Rawson, illustrated by Sherry Rogers

A whimsical story that has four multi-cultural children imagining what life would be like as a pet parrot. Join parrots and children as they climb around the house, over furniture and up the curtains with four-toed parrot feet, then chew wooden spoons, popsicles and popsicle sticks, and even a telephone directory with their hooked parrot peaks. The parrot fun continues with eating delicious vegetables like broccoli, squawking, talking, bathing, and finally snuggling down for the night. The "For Creative Minds" section has parrot fun facts, tips for taking care of a pet parrot and a make-a-beak craft to supplement learning.
