It is a hat

I know it's strange, but this morning a bird flew up to me and landed on my head. Unable to dislodge him, I had to go to school with him, always on my head. I told the mistress that this is my new hat, but she had doubts. Everyone was looking at me. I was so ashamed that at recess I wanted to be left alone. And that's when Maria came to see me. She told me she really liked my new hat… So everything changed! A contemporary tale from Portugal, extraordinary and full of poetry, in which a child will gain self-confidence in an unusual situation. And when the bird leaves, what will it do?
