The bird who likes to sing moves among different animals, annoyed by his chirping until he meets a farmer who finds peace and rest in the bird’s song. The book touches on the issue of our need to share feelings with others, joyful and sad ones, and the reactions of others to this need.

GeneralDear Parents,
A proverb in Arabic that says, “if your son hums, sing to him.” What this proverb indicates is that we should be attentive to our children’s emotions. We should sympathize with them when they are happy or distressed and support them when they need to express their feelings. We should also deal with them in a manner that gives them a sense of security and strengthen their self-confidence in coping with emotional crises.
Like the Sunbird, sometimes we are overwhelmed with strong joyous, sad, or angry emotions, and we search for someone to support us or share our emotional excitement. Some people may disregard us because they are busy or because they find it difficult to contain our emotions at that specific moment. However, we always find someone who embraces and listens to us, someone with whom we share bonds of trust and love.
Herby, we share with you some suggestions for activities about the book you can do with your children
