WHEN THE BIRD
DISCOVERED ITS WINGS
by Rania Amin

WINNER OF THE SUZANNE MUBARAK
CHILDREN'S BOOKS AWARD

When the Bird Discovered its Wings, deals with two important issues to this age group: sibling rivalry and self-discovery.
Amir is jealous of his clever and multi-talented younger sister. Their parents' boasting of her abilities leaves Amir feeling neglected and discouraged. His uncle, who senses this, points out that we all have hidden talents that have yet to unfold. This entices Amir to explore writing, in which he finds great pleasure. In turn, Amir regains his confidence and secures the approval of both his parents and teachers. His feelings of jealousy are turned into encouragement and praise for his sister.
