Delighted by Light as a Feather What a sweet read! The artwork is beautifully done and full of charming details. I read Light as a Feather with my 5 years old niece. She was so captivated by the story that at one point she reached out and petted the little bird’s tail. The author/illustrator, Colleen Stone, weaves a wondrous tale of a tail! Read more

This Read Will Have You Soaring! Light as a Feather is a wholesome story that beautifully illustrates the internal conflict that people face when deciding to take risks. This book reminds the reader of the role that self-actualization plays in one’s life, and reinforces the power of perseverance. I had a really fun time reading this, and I especially appreciate the vibrant artwork. Colleen’s colorful and imaginative depictions carry the reader along on a whimsical journey of self-discovery. The book is incredibly heartfelt, and captures a wide variety of emotions. I felt I could relate to every feeling portrayed in this story, from sorrow to curiosity to confidence. This is a great choice for people of all ages, as it conveys the importance of removing barriers in order to succeed–a lesson we could all learn from. Read more
