Elodie is a Superhero: A Special Needs Story for Kids

Parrot lives in an apartment on the outskirts of a city, above the outfield of a baseball diamond.

Her life is simple and fine - until a series of unexpected things happen. Find out what happens in this sweet story about friendship and change. ENJOY! If you love this story, please share it with any parrots who may be lonelier than they care to admit, snails who enjoy baseball, anyone who loves a challenging jigsaw puzzle - don’t we all - and your friends.
