Advanced Praise for Feathers and Friends: ""Feathers and Friends explores a beautiful friendship between two children that inspire each other to see the world in new ways. Themes of creativity and connection are woven seamlessly into every page, celebrating the magic of nature. A heartfelt and visually delightful story, it leaves readers with a sense of warmth and inspiration."" Ellen O'Regan, First Grade Teacher ""Leaving your home is hard. Making new friends is hard. But when you meet someone who cares about the same things, it's not as hard."" Ann Woodman, Children's Librarian ""Feathers and Friends is a lovely book that captures the transcendental power of nature as a unifying force among different cultures. Joyeeta Neogi's illustrations are outstanding and capture the details of the various plant and animal species beautifully.""

It also weaves together friendship, working together, and family, making it a perfect book to share with my students."" Maria Diaz, Elementary Teacher
