Be open, be honest, be you! Big Bright Feelings for little people.

Norman had always been perfectly normal . . . until the day he grew a pair of wings!

Norman loves his new wings, and has the most fun ever trying them out high in the sky. But then he has to go in for dinner. What will his parents think? What will everyone else think? Norman feels the safest plan is to cover his wings with a big coat.

But hiding the thing that makes you different proves tricky and upsetting. Can Norman ever truly be himself?

This is the second book in Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series to become available as a board book - the perfect size for little hands!
