What this book is about

Janell Cannon's beloved 1993 picture book follows Stellaluna, a baby fruit bat separated from her mother who is taken in by a family of birds. Stellaluna adapts to bird ways — eating bugs, sleeping at night, landing right-side up — until a reunion with other bats reminds her who she truly is. A classic of children's literature, celebrated for its warm illustrations and gentle message about friendship across difference.
