This is a cute story told with bright and vivid collage-like illustrations featuring a flock of colourful birds in a variety of shapes and sizes to catch the eye of young readers.
Oddbird is the odd man out. He doesn't have colourful feathers like the other birds but instead of standing around the pool on a hot day like the other birds, he jumps right in and shows young readers that it's more important to love who we are and not waste time worrying about what others think.

Book Description from GoodReads: A picture book from Derek Desierto about a bird who doesn't fit in...at first!
It's SO hot outside. All the fancy birds are gathered around the water, wishing they could cool off. But they don't want to get wet and ruin their fine feathers.
Oddbird isn't worried about his feathers; he wants to go for a refreshing dip. But he doesn't fit in. He's not fancy, or colorful. He's just...different. The other birds don't want him around. How can he join them?
Oddbird's story is one all readers will relate to, and ultimately celebrate.
