Ruby, a little yellow bird, approaches birds of all feathers in search of friends. She makes many, but when she does meet with rejection, she is sad until she comes upon a whole treeful of birds like her--whereupon she introduces them to all her other friends. The slight plot and overt message of inclusion is enhanced by cheerful, well-composed pictures in scribbly pastels.
