We join our little feathered friend as he struggles to understand the world around him, envying the happiness of his four-legged counterparts “who had homes that never blew away in strong winds.”
Wishing away his need to fly, he decides to take a stroll and experience the world from a new perspective, stretching his legs and adorned by a marvelous top hat as he struts his stuff and meets all manner of friends along the way.
A Beautiful Message for Children
Within just a few short weeks of practicing his strides, it becomes second nature to him, and he quickly becomes known as the Striding Bird. He even builds himself a new home on the land to reflect his newfound status as a ground dweller!

Without ruining the story too much for you guys, let’s just say that trials and tribulations put his will to the test and teach him to value who and what he is without wishing away everything that makes him uniquely, well, him!
This is a beautifully told story that I really think sends a powerful message to children about self-identity and self-respect. In an increasingly alienating world, I think it is incredibly important to teach children to value themselves rather than wishing they could be someone else, and Striding Bird achieves this with flying colors as far as I’m concerned.
