Cool meets geek in this hilarious and touching picture book about what happens when a nerdy birdy tries to make friends.
Nerdy Birdy likes reading, video games, and reading about video games, which immediately disqualifies him for membership in the cool crowd.
One thing is clear: being a nerdy birdy is a lonely lifestyle.
When he's at his lowest point, Nerdy Birdy meets a flock just like him. He has friends and discovers that there are far more nerdy birdies than cool birdies in the sky.
Everything is looking up until a new bird moves into the neighborhood. She looks lonely.
What's a nerdy birdy to do?

"Illustration comes naturally to Davies--his editorial cartoons won him a Pulitzer Prize in 2004--and this satisfying tale of a boy, his beloved bicycle, and the bully who steals it is a fine debut."--Publishers Weekly
