How to Be Comfortable in Your Own Feathers
この電子書籍について
"You should go on a diet, and work out at the gym.
You could flutter like me, if your body was thin."
Bluebird takes this comment seriously and starts to develop unhealthy eating habits. Mom comes to the rescue by teaching Bluebird balance and by explaining that everyone needs to feel comfortable in their own feathers. With help from the Bird Doc and the Food Voice Counselor, Bluebird learns to control the Food Voice that is living inside.
"I'm working on balance one day at a time.
If I keep working hard, I should be just fine."

This story is written in a manner that gives children an opportunity to apply the characters' experiences to their own lives.
