About this Story

“Acceptance, Individuality, Self-Expression”

Hey there, young readers! 📚❤️ Welcome to our reading circle.

I just finished reading “Perfectly Norman” by Tom Percival, and I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts! 📖🪽

This sweet picture book tells the story of little Norman, who one day sprouts wings and discovers the joy of flying free. At first, he is absolutely delighted by this magical transformation! But soon, Norman starts to worry about what others will think. Afraid of being judged or rejected, he hides his beautiful wings under a heavy coat. From that moment on, life just isn’t the same. 🫂

What makes this book so special is its powerful and sensitive message about identity, acceptance, and the importance of being ourselves. Tom Percival’s illustrations glow with bold colors and heartfelt expressions that draw you into Norman’s emotional journey. The story shows children that there is nothing wrong with being different, and that we should never hide behind what we think others expect of us. 💕

This is a reading experience that touches both children and adults alike. It encourages the freedom to be who we are and reminds us that we are all perfectly normal, each with our own unique differences. Parents appreciate how it sparks conversations about self-esteem and embracing what makes us special, all without being preachy. 🌟

Published by Bloomsbury, this 32-page treasure is perfect for ages 3-7. If your child loves stories about self-discovery or needs a gentle boost of confidence, this gem is bound to become a family favorite that you’ll return to again and again! 🪽📖
