Book
Birdie the penguin believes she is the chosen one who lights up the world every night with her song. Her zoo friends believe this too. In this sensitively illustrated story, featuring a cast of zoo animals, Birdie the penguin has a special role to play. Until one day she gets sick and discovers that perhaps her role was not as important as she thought. She and her friends discover that the world can light itself up at night without Birdie's song. Birdie begins to question what her purpose is. She tries to learn the jobs the other animals do, without success. She feels lost and confused - until her zoo friends help her realize her true purpose.
