No one is perfect. Jeremy Jay's deformed foot has him giving up on himself even when no one else is. He's convinced he can't live a normal life like the other jays-until he gets the support of the oldest friend to every animal in Oakwoods. Soon, Jeremy is singing a new tune, but can he go from doubter to teacher when he meets another impaired blue jay? This is book one of the Oakwoods series of early reader chapter books featuring under-appreciated woodland animals. Perfect for young readers transitioning from picture to chapter books. Features include: Sassoon Primary font - a proven easy-to-read font for beginning readers. Internal thoughts of the main character printed in color. (Useful for very early or struggling readers. They can read those while you read the rest aloud.) Children love color. Beautiful full-color illustrations with a hidden creature to find. "What If?" discussion questions. Some about the story, and others for application to real life. A glossary for new words. "Did You Know?" section with facts about the real animal. In this story you'll learn about the opossum.
