The Sphinx on the Table by Janine Burke
Milmon is a flying rabbit.
To him that isn't strange. After being orphaned in a flood, he found himself in Morse Grove, a community full of flying creatures. In Morse Grove, his dreams of flying were nurtured and encouraged by his friends.
It isn't until Milmon is told that rabbits can't fly that he loses his ability. He crash-lands in a town full of animals who are determined to stop him from doing something so impossible. Can Milmon find his way home? Follow along with Milmon as he goes on a journey of discovery with a surprising ending.
This contemporary fable illustrates the struggles of being different. It reflects how others can rob you of your valuable uniqueness and leave you uncomfortable in your own skin. Milmon's story is about the tragedy and sacrifice of forgetting how to fly.
It's a perfect allegory for any teens and tweens who are struggling to fit in. It's at this point in our lives that we begin to feel self-conscious about the very things that make us special. Use this book to start a conversation with someone about self-confidence, self-esteem, and acceptance
