Cuckoo

Written by Lois Ehlert
This Mexican folktale is about Cuckoo, a beautiful bird who sings all day and night rather than help the other birds plants seeds in the forest. They view Cuckoo as frivolous, yet she is the one who notices the fire in the forest. She sacrifices her singing voices and her feathers to save the seeds. The moral of the story is to be careful not to judge a book by its cover.
