by Allan Peterkin (Author), Sandhya Prabhat (Illustrator)

This fun story about the highs and lows of media stardom is perfect for readers not yet ready for Charlotte's Web.

A gorgeous peacock hatches an escape from the zoo in search of fame, only to realize that instant stardom can be tough and that beauty is more than feathers deep.

Peacock loves to see his friend Sketch, a girl who comes to the zoo and inks drawings of him. But life was lonely when she wasn't around. As a free bird, his adventures attract all the attention he'd always dreamed of, adoring fans, tons of photos, and news headlines. But when he starts to molt, as peacocks do, his tail feathers fall out. His fame evaporates, and Peacock finally comes to appreciate Sketch, who's stayed by his side from the beginning.

This story is a lighthearted exploration of the fleeting nature of social media stardom and the importance of real-world friendships. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers about how to navigate social media with kids.
