What’s the Point of Kiki?

Sometimes the best siblings come with feathers

Nisha never wanted a crow for a pet. But when Kiki limps into their lives, Ma takes him in without a second thought. Suddenly, Ma has no time for anything—or anyone—else.
Kiki can’t fetch, doesn’t cuddle and definitely doesn’t follow commands. He’s loud, messy and always in the way. Nisha is fed up! What’s so special about this bird, anyway? But as days go by, Nisha begins to notice things she didn’t see before.
Maybe there’s more to Kiki than feathers and fuss.
A heartwarming story about unexpected friendships, patience, and the quiet ways love can grow.

Explores theme of sibling jealousy, a very common and relatable feeling among young readers

Representation of non-traditional pets, thus encouraging unconditional animal compassion Dramatic text making it perfect for read-alouds and enactments
