.If you or your children have never read Stellaluna it is an absolute must-read by Janell Cannon.
"Stellaluna is a baby bat who is separated from her mother and is raised by a family of birds. She happily supports the birds rules and eats what birds eat……even though it seems strange to her to be eating insects and sleeping right side up. Unlike the Ugly Duckling which is sometimes harsh, this books teaches acceptance rather than rejection and has some wonderful humor . When Stellaluna’s mother finds her and she is reunited with other bats, she understands why she enjoyed hanging upside down to sleep and why she enjoyed fruit rather than insects.
She also does not forget the kindness of the birds and continues a friendship." Ages 4-8
