Description
A hilarious and factual introduction to the Amazonian hoatzin--or stinkbird--and its surprising, incredible superpower. (Spoiler alert: it's more than just the stink!) Stinkbirds have a lot in common with other birds: they have feathers, wings, and a beak. But they also have . . . a hidden superpower! This proud stinkbird papa would love to tell you more about it--if his adorable chick would quit interrupting him! Is it their stinky, poopy smell? Nope. What about their loud and beautiful song?
Negative. Is it the fact that they can swim?
Not that either, but you're getting closer. Just what is it that makes stinkbird chicks so special? You'll have to read the book to find out!

Reviews
Praise for Stinkbird Has a Superpower * "This comical picture book about the Amazonian hoatzin swoops in to delight readers with funny facts, and Shea's smooth and textural digital illustrations and eye for composition effectively create a child-like stinkbird perspective . . . Educational narration pairs with bantering dialogue to portray a loving relationship between father and son." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review "Cheerful and humorous . . . This book would be a treat for a nature-themed storytime. A lively glimpse of a weird and wonderful bird." --Kirkus Reviews "Effusive . . . The peppy, unmistakably fact-forward text gets plenty of zhuzh via digital images by Shea. Flat, tropical colors and layers of leaves convey the rainforest's lushness while providing a suitably theatrical backdrop for an idiosyncratic family's celebration of pride." --Publishers Weekly
