Jayde the Jaybird

by Brandee Buble, Eliska Liska (Illustrator)

Overview

Jayde is an adorable jaybird with a tiny left wing and a big voice. Although it’s not easy keeping up with the others, it doesn’t stop her from doing what she loves...singing. But Jayde is too shy to share her voice with her family, and only her best friend, Olivia, knows about her hidden talent. Come fly away with Jayde and see what happens when she finally gets the courage to sing loud enough for the whole forest to hear.

Read an Excerpt

"At the edge of the forest,

In a nest in a tree,

Lived the sweetest little jaybird

You'd ever want to see!



Jayde's wings were different sizes.

One was smaller than the other,

Which made it hard to keep up

With her sisters and her brother."
