Reseña del editor:

Zilly: A Modern-Day Fable is the story of a wonderfully, out-of-the-ordinary flyer who loves being quirky, spontaneous, and free. Her best friend is a goat named Mingle who loves Zilly just the way she is. But the other flyers tease Zilly for being different, and her uniqueness and friendship are tested when she decides to take flying lessons for flyers who want to fit in (“No goats allowed!”).The billboard promised that all flying lessons came complete with a nifty look-alike outfit, a book of easy-to-memorize flying routines, and a sparkly award.Zilly gazed at the billboard and she gazed some more. Fitting in seemed so fashionable. And a nifty outfit seemed almost necessary. And who wouldn't want a sparkly award? “This is it!” Zilly exclaimed. “If beautiful means being like all of you, then that is what I will do!” Author and illustrator Kelly Parks Snider weaves together eclectic artwork and playfully poetic words to create this fanciful tale. Readers will see themselves in this modern-day fable that celebrates the power of friendship and being true to one's self. Zilly is an outgrowth of Project Girl (www.projectgirl.org). Project Girl, co-founded by Kelly Parks Snider, is a nationally recognized, award-winning program that combines art and media literacy into a unique, educational experience for children, parents and educators. The book includes discussion questions for children and caring adults, providing a springboard to introduce thoughtful dialogue about peer pressure, bullying, and the role of media in our life.Please visit www.zillybook.com for more information about Zilly and to find plenty of fun activities for kids such as coloring pages, a children's art gallery, information for parents, teachers, and librarians, and to learn more about Kelly.
