Norman Blue tries hard to fit in with the flock, in this funny, heartwarming story about having the courage to accept yourself.

Norman Blue badly wants to fit in, but he has a secret: he doesnt have a crest like the other cockatoos. He tries to do all the things cockatoos do: screeching when hed rather sing, preening vainly, munching on houses, and poo-bombing across town. But when he loses his fake crest one day, he meets a unique possum and realises he can have the courage to be who he is, too. In this charmingly illustrated story about difference and bravery, readers will learn the power of self-acceptance.
