Little Wing serves as a charming take on the sort of life lessons every person of every size and shape grapple with -- who they are and the fit into the world around them. Rather than plunge after these questions straight on, Mr. Taylor has created a relatable, engaging character in Little Wing to answer them.Beginning with a most unfortunate set of circumstances, Little Wing finds himself alone in the world. Through blind luck and childlike wonder, he is able to discern who he is and what his role is. Along the way he learns invaluable lessons about friendship, avoiding potential traps, hard work, and looking past outer appearances. Dotted with well-placed supporting characters, lessons are imparted without ever feeling heavy handed or preachy.This is presented as children’s tale, but can be enjoyed be readers of all ages.
