Tomi Ungerer's classic tale about a bat who learns to embrace his differences through friendship. First published in 1961, this classic story of difference and acceptance is as relevant today.
Like all bats, Rufus sees life in black and white, until he chances upon an outdoor movie theatre and is awakened to the dazzling world of colors for the first time. Inspired and excited, Rufus paints his own wings and ventures out into the day, only to discover that his unusual appearance attracts unwelcome attention. Though he is initially rejected for his difference, Rufus soon learns to accept himself for who he is, thanks to a new friend.
Hardcover. 32 pages.
