A House for Every Bird
by Megan Maynor
illustrated by Kaylani Juanita
Knopf Books for Young Readers
A young artist sits at her desk. She draws a flock of birds, and a house to match every bird. Red for red, tall for tall, a house for one, a house for all…
But all of a sudden, her drawings revolt! The pairings she's created won't fly with this group. Blue Bird likes the orange house, and Small Bird wants the big house. As the artist gets to know her new flock of friends, she learns that you can't always judge a bird by its feathers!

Reviews
✨ Star of the North Picture Book Award Nominee
“A fresh and funny take on an old moral.
…comically teaching youth to let others define themselves and avoid the pitfalls of inadvertent stereotyping.”
—Kirkus
“This bighearted picture book delivers a worthwhile message with humor and great respect for young readers.”
—The Horn Book
“Both Maynor’s dialogue text and Juanita’s digital art have a loose, improvisational feel that captures the thrill and frustration of a work in progress—and the value of empathy and flexibility in getting to know others.”
—Publisher’s Weekly
"Use this to open a discussion on using words rather than assumptions, or as an introduction to the way art can go in unexpected directions."
—The Bulletin
