Conference of the Birds

Also available on Audible
Unhappy with who they are, five unlikely friends—a raven, a canary, an owl, a parrot, and a homing pigeon—embark on a treacherous journey, eventually discovering strength in togetherness, the value of their own unique talents, and a new sense of self-worth.
J. Nicholas is still in college and has penned his first children’s book. He doesn’t want any biographical info about himself (and we are adhering to his request)
Conference of the Birds, is written by J Nicholas, and llustrated by Randa Handler.
"This book is not only delightful, it has an important message<” posts Top Amazon reviewer, Israel Drazin, "the Conference of the Birds;with charming primitive-type pictures tells about the sky, the magical realm of the birds and the book teaches children about self-worth. Children will enjoy reading the reaction of the birds to this cryptic advice, how they interpreted it, their adventure, and how they solved their feeling that they should change.”
Jessie Marie posts, “Be Yourself! Love it! This is a book that takes you on a journey with different birds. They all wish to be different from what they are. In the end, they found that just being themselves and using their talents is better than being someone else.”
“Definitely a lesson in teaching young ones to just be themselves, not try to be like others. I recommend this for any parent who needs to show your child that it’s okay for them to be different. Or for those teachers that need to teach this to their students.”
"Christiane Hitti writes, “What a very exciting story from talented young writer J.Nicholas. Conference of the birds…The story is about many colorful birds with different personalities going on a journey to find themselves, and find answers to their unhappiness… The illustrations are amazingly charming, bright and very appealing to young children. I recommend this book to all parents.”
