Ugly (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985932992)

My name is "El Feo" which in Spanish means, "The Ugly One". But I am beautiful, inside and out. I am a Northern Cardinal and despite being bald with a few sporadic feathers sticking up in different places on my head and a malocclusion beak, I am irresistible to almost everyone I meet. When I was a baby, I flew into Mr. Jim's backyard and eventually his heart, too. Over the years Mr. Jim has documented my life in pictures and kept a close eye on me. He spoils me rotten with my favorite food, Safflower seeds.This is my story. It is one of a special friendship, the overcoming of incredible odds for survival and a lesson in self-acceptance.Interesting facts and knowledge about Northern Cardinals are sprinkled throughout the book Educational questions, topics of discussion and activities are available in the back of the book for classroom teaching.Whoever said, "Bald isn't beautiful", never met me!Tink! Tink! Tink! A portion of your purchase helps to support the many animals rescued at The WildBird Fund.
