Christina and Rosie: And the Bird That Can't Fly by Rita Hillier is an engaging story for children about two sisters, Christina and Rosie. They find a bird making a nest and discover that it is too scared to fly. As they work together, the plot takes a turn when they attempt to help the bird fly using fairy dust. The story becomes more exciting when Christina and Rosie understand that it's better to let the bird learn to fly by itself. After being inspired by their mom's encouraging words, the girls decide to help the environment by picking up litter in parks and forests. The story concludes when the bird flies on its own, and this motivates Christina and Rosie to keep helping and protecting wildlife in their neighborhood.
Rita Hillier’s Christina and Rosie: And the Bird That Can't Fly teaches young readers the importance of protecting the environment and kindness. It encourages children to explore, inquire, and observe. The bond between the two sisters helps children learn the power of teamwork and sibling love. The author’s writing style is engaging and easy to understand. The illustrations in the story are bright and interesting. I suggest Christina and Rosie: And the Bird That Can't Fly to parents, caregivers, and teachers who want their kids to learn about the environment in a fun and interesting way. The story makes us want to take care of our planet and its animals and make a difference.
