Ashley Bryan retells a Zambian folktale in Beautiful Blackbird, which can be enjoyed by all ages. Kindergarteners through third graders can use this book to summarize and check for understanding. In this book, blackbird was voted most beautiful by the birds in the forest. They are envious of his beautiful color and ask to have black marking painted on their bodies, despite blackbird's warnings that what is on the inside is what makes the birds beautiful.
