Blue Finds Her Song — book cover

The story

What Blue is about

For years, Blue's joy came from listening and cheering for the songs of everyone she loved. Their songs became hers. Then her little ones flew from the nest and silence filled the air.

One day, she opened her beak to sing.

Nothing came out.

Not even a squeak.

She feared she's waited too long to sing. She wondered if she was worthy of a song. She asked herself what she did wrong.

Then one ordinary evening she heard a strong, gentle voice urging her to go find it.

Blue Finds Her Song is the tender, honest, hopeful journey of a bird rediscovering her voice, learning unconditional love, and finding the courage to begin again.

"Love is greater than fear. It carries you higher."

Why bring Blue home

Finding your voice

For anyone who has been singing for everyone else and forgotten the sound of their own song. Your voice is beautiful, let it be heard.

You are loved just as you are

You are not alone. Love is all around you, but you must look for it. Once you discover true love, you won't settle for anything else.

You can begin again

Beginning again is not the same as starting over. You are resetting and restocking — and it takes a brave little bird to do the work.

You are brave.
