In this belly-laughing picture book, follow a very proud peacock named Paul as he tumbles down to earth from his treetop penthouse and learns to appreciate his helpful and caring friends.
Paul has everything. He has the biggest nest, the most loyal friend, and of course, the most beautiful feathers in the forest. But as you can guess, he's not the humblest of birds...
In fact... Paul is a selfish, rude, and arrogant peacock, who isn't very nice to his friend Norris the Loris and the other animals in the forest. He's pampered by everyone around him and never has to shake a feather.
Then, one evening, "after another long, tiring day of being perfect", there is a huge storm. Paul loses everything—including his precious feathers. He has to go on an adventure through the forest to try and retrieve his most prized possession. But as he sets off to find his feathers, he ultimately discovers something even more important...
This hilarious story with comic deadpan moments and vivid, expressive illustrations conveys an important message about kindness, friendship, and humility.
This is a fantastically funny fable that gently shows young readers how to be less materialistic, and more modest and mindful of other people's feelings.
