Drôle d'oiseau

The variety of characters felt so authentic and fun. I'm curious whether the author drew from real bird behaviors or created them to teach kids about diversity.

The story had such a gentle way of addressing differences and friendship. I wonder how children interpret the message about being true to oneself.

The book had plenty of funny scenes but also touching ones. I'm interested in what the creative process was like in blending these tones seamlessly.
