Hiznobyuti

Hiznobyuti tells the story of a strange little creature whose family calls him "no beauty" so often that he assumes it is his name, until he runs away and discovers the secrets of the universe, from talking with trees to waking up the sun. Acclaimed French author Claude Ponti fills the surreal, tender tale with inventive wordplay and richly detailed illustrations. This is a meaningful choice for students because it turns an ugly-duckling story into a genuinely strange, memorable journey of self-discovery and belonging.
