Baby
fruit bat Stellaluna's life is flitting along right on schedule-until
an owl attacks her mother one night, knocking the bewildered batlet
out of her mother's loving grasp. The tiny bat is lucky enough
to land in a nest of baby birds, but her whole world has just
turned upside down. Literally. Stellaluna's adoptive bird mom
accepts her into her nest, but only on the condition that Stellaluna
will act like a bird, not a bat. Soon Stellaluna has learned to
behave like a good bird should-she quits hanging by her feet and
starts eating bugs. But when she finally has an opportunity to
show her bird siblings what life as a bat is like, all of them
are confounded. Anyone who has ever been asked to be someone they
are not will understand the conflicts and possibilities that Stellaluna
faces.This production is based on the heartwarming award-winning story by Jannell Cannon.
