Oh, my! Sidney is the cutest of the cutest. The book is about Sydney, a little sparrow that falls in love with music and wants to become a conductor. Everyone discourages her. Her family and teacher want Sydney to learn nest building and be a good sparrow. But all she wants is to be a music conductor!
The book shows how having a dream is not wrong just because it’s different from what others want. With determination and persistence, one can achieve their dreams. Being passionate about what you want is important.
There are tips at the end for parents and teachers to nurture kids to have ambitions and dreams of their own.
What I love the most about the book are the illustrations and attention to detail in them. Soft strokes, lovely colors, and wonderful expressions of the sparrows, perfect!
I received an ARC from NetGalley and National Center for Youth Issues and am voluntarily leaving a review.
