TICO是隻善良的小鳥，他有其他鳥兒的喜愛與照顧，但卻沒有一對可以帶著他飛翔的翅膀。一天晚上許願鳥送給他一對如黃金般閃耀的強壯翅膀，讓他可以像老鷹一樣遨翔天際，但他卻發現，他的朋友們不再喜歡他了…Lionni用充滿詩意的文字與插圖，寫出一段”施比受更有福”的故事，也告訴小朋友，每個人都是不同的，除了要能夠時時刻刻去幫助別人，更重要的是要肯定自己，才是獨一無二的真諦。
A classic fable encouraging generosity and individuality, from four-time Caldecott Honor-winner Leo Lionni.Tico, a little bird born without wings, is one day granted his dearest wish. But the wings he gets are made of gold and his bird friends turn against him. "You think you are better than we are," they say. What Tico does with his golden feathers--and the important lesson he learns--is a fable that children will take to their hearts.

Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as ＂a master of the simple fable＂ by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.
