Mato's Journey is about a young mockingbird that doesn't want to grow up to be a mockingbird because they are dull and gray. Tormented by the obnoxious blue jay, Mato is determined to fly to the "faraway place," where he can be who he wants to be and hang out with the cool birds with pretty feathers and big crests. Along the way, he makes an exciting discovery-that life isn't all about the feathers!
