A Many Feathered Thing by Lisa Gerlits

5.0

This was such a heartwarming read for me. I loved every bit of it. It was the best book I read this month. From the cover, this book had caught my eye, it was unique, it was different. When I started with the book, it told the story of this girl Clarity Anne Karoffel. She sufferred from a delayed speech and was made fun of by her peers. She had very few people to confide in, Joselyn his elder sister was her first best friend, but with time she grew apart.

She then met Orion, her neighbor and her childhood friend, with whom she shared even comfortable silences, he understood her silences and she understood his knots. While playing, Orion made the ball hit Mr. Vogelman's window.

This hitting the window was a mistake by Orion but it opened doors for Clarity when she found out Vogelman was an artist. For Clarity, since words didn't come easy, she channeled her feelings through art. And there, developed a new friendship with Vogelman, her birdman who guided her with art.

Its a beautiful story about how Clarity grows and evolves, how she learns to express herself and how she learns art.
Will totally recommend this to anyone or everyone who wants to read a beautiful story of innocence, friendships, and self discovery.
