Friends of a Feather One of Life's Little Fables

Even before earning his doctorate in education. Bill Cosby knew how to speak to the child in us all. In this story about a zealous bird who learns to soar from under the shadow of his best friend's wing comes a powerful message about being oneself and the glorious freedom that can bring! Intended as a tribute to Dr. Cosby's son, Ennis, the book ultimately celebrates all of us who strive to become our best selves. Meet Slipper, Feathers, and Hog. Three of the rarest birds ever known to humankind. Now people say birds of a feather tend to flock together, but not on the Beach by the Rock. That's where these three unique friends meet for the first time, performing risky feats for one another and then later for the hundreds of folks who gather to watch. But when the stunts of the most gifted and eager-to-please bird are overshadowed by the sheer beauty of his best friend, an attempt to borrow back the limelight nearly ends in disaster. Why do these birds stunt fly at all? What do they expect from the skies, one another, and the crowds below? And just what are the people on the beach looking for from them? It takes a flight of imagination, the courage to be oneself, and the support of good friends to find out.Cosby, Bill is the author of 'Friends of a Feather One of Life's Little Fables', published 2003 under ISBN 9780060091477 and ISBN 0060091479.
