In this coming-of-age fable, a fledgling wren seeks the meaning and purpose of his song with help from his spirit guides: Lady Dry Feather and Tender Wing, who teach Little Feather about courage, care, and sharing; Little Sweet Feather, his soul mate; and Ancient Lady--an ancestor tree wherein dwells Wise Wing, who shows Little Feather how to look deep inside and find the special message all birds are meant to carry.

Illustrated with the author's own delicate porcelain paintings, Light as a Feather is an evocative tale about what a tender soul may aspire to be.
