Wade W. Bergner’s The Bird Ride is about the author’s childhood experiences. While playing alone outside, he happened on a blue Bird. When he looks at it point-blank, he turns into the size of the Bird. He gets an unforgettable ride from the Bird. He gets to see things from a whole different perspective that he never is capable of when on ground.

Outstanding book for both children and adults! There’s even a section for adults to discuss with children. When Wade gets on the Bird, and it actually takes flight with him on it, it takes my breath away. What Wade sees when seated on the Bird’s back is that kids at school and at home with their pets are filled with vibrant color. He realizes this is the case because they are radiating with unconditional love. From the Bird’s perch, it gives him a whole different perspective on life; it is so enthralling. From up above on the Bird, he can see the energy, it’s so surreal. This experience helps him appreciate more out of life because he now knows unconditional love only radiates from the young; the elderly are just going through the motions. I also love how there are discussion questions at the end for teachers or parents to talk to their students or children about the subject of self-esteem, which will help get a discussion going. This may be the first book of the series for Emotional Agility Matters Series, but I hope there are more to help challenge kids. The art is cute, relating to the story. I love the art.

Young Wade seems pretty intellectual for his young age, knowing all those places like Algeria, France and other places when he is playing with his toy cars. If Young Wade is so intellectual, why isn’t it written from an intellectual kid’s perspective? I don’t like the adults in the offices and factories who don’t have any vibrant colors. It seems like the adults don’t love their jobs and are just doing it for money and not for the love of it. In reality, not all adults hate their jobs.

I rate Wade W. Bergner’s Emotional Agility Matter Series The Bird Ride 4 out of 4 stars because the editing is exemplary. There are no grammatical or spelling errors.

Due to its theme of self-esteem, this book is suitable for school-age kids. There is also a section for adults, whether they are the kids’ teachers or parents, for further discussion on the story to help kids build self-esteem..
