Wally the Woodpecker has one tiny problem:
he hates pecking wood.
While the rest of his woodpecker family happily tap, thump, and drill away in Whitewater, Wisconsin, Wally dreams of being a "normal" bird-one who sings sweet songs, waddles like a duck, or soars like a hawk. But every time Wally tries to be something he's not, chaos (and comedy) follow. From failed splash landings to squirrel-related rescue missions, Wally's wild identity crisis leads to plenty of laughs-and one very important lesson.
With a heart full of rhythm and a beak that just won't quit, Wally discovers that being different isn't a flaw... it's what makes him fabulously him.
Told in playful, rhyming verse with laugh-out-loud moments and a warm, memorable message, this delightful story celebrates self-acceptance, friendship, and the joy of embracing your weird, wonderful self-splinters, squirrel rescues, and all.
Perfect for ages 5-12 (and grownups who still feel like weird birds sometimes).
