A Head Full of Birds

In a sunlit elementary school framed by chalk-dusted blackboards and oak-lined playgrounds, Nanette—whose world hums to the rhythm of puddles, spider webs, and clay creations—finds recess a sanctuary away from taunts about her differences. When Noah, a paper-airplane aficionado with restless curiosity, slides onto her table, sparks fly between his pilot-eyed schemes and her hands-on marvels. At first he’s puzzled by Nanette’s laser focus on earth’s tiny wonders, but as they join forces on a classroom art project that echoes the ideals of the Disability Justice movement and the protections of modern inclusive education laws, their friendship transforms the playground into a laboratory of imagination and empathy. Together they build intricate webs of yarn that map every classmate’s strengths, proving that true creativity thrives when Educational Equity invites all abilities to the table. This expressively illustrated tale, awash in colored pencils and inclusive spirit, empowers classrooms, after-school clubs, and faith-based nurseries to spark conversations about navigating difference, honoring neurodiverse strengths, and reimagining the world through every child’s eyes.
