A young Indian girl discovers the magic of a bird feather in this spirited #OwnVoices story of identification, values, and imagination. "This circular story has the ring of an Indian folk tale. Its art strikingly contrasts the warm bright colors of silks and spices with the lush turquoise of peacock feathers." -- The New York Times Lali finds a little feather in the field. Who might it belong to? She sets out to find the feather a home, but one bird after another rejects it. The feather is too small for Rooster, too slow for Crow, and too plain for Peacock. That is until Lali decides to keep the little feather and discovers all the things she can do with it. Then all of the other birds begin to recognize its value.
