Description
After a stormy night in the forest, a baby bird named Blu wakes up all alone. Where is her mommy?
Determined to find her way home, Blu teams up with a lost fox cub named Maple. With Maple’s speedy paws and Blu’s wings and eyes, they work together to search for their moms. Blu has strabismus, a condition that affects how her eyes move, but it doesn’t stop her from soaring high, thinking smart, and saving the day.
Baby Blu to the Rescue is a heartwarming story of courage, friendship, and finding your way home. It fosters empathy and inclusion in the classroom and promotes positive self-image through meaningful disability representation.
