About This Story

When a small puffin named Pip finds a beautiful silver feather that isn't his and doesn't tell anyone at first, he learns just how heavy a little secret can feel, even on a bird with wings so light. As the feather's shine begins to lose its charm, Pip discovers that being honest — even when it's hard, even when it means admitting a mistake — is what truly makes his heart feel light again. By the end, Pip learns that Allah اللّٰه loves the truthful, and that honesty always brings more peace than any borrowed shine ever could.
