One Feather at a Time by Kristen Benson tells the story of Mim, a pelican in search of food. Landing at the riverbank, she doesn’t notice a prickly acacia bush and lands in it with a thump. With her feathers now in tatters and her home far away, Mim seeks support from a kindly kookaburra, who gives her a feather of his own.

As other birds hear Mim’s plight, they too stop and offer their feathers. Eventually, they construct a new wing to help Mim fly. This touching story about compassion and empathy, with expressive illustrations, shows the spirit of community and helping others, despite their differences.
