"Violet is a bright and colorful story set in the GalĂĄpagos Islands. Told entirely from the point of view of the animals that live there, this is the tale of a unique baby bird named Violet. Violetâs mother is a Red-Footed Booby, and Violetâs father is a Blue-Footed Booby. Their baby, Violet, is the first one of her kind, a Purple-Footed Booby, and she displays characteristics of both species. Violetâs red footed and blue footed relatives, however, donât notice her similarities at first, just her differences, and they donât see how she will ever fit in. Through the kindly intervention of a wise old GalĂĄpagos Tortoise, the birds all learn an important lesson about acceptance, and Violet shows off a new dance that is the best of all of them."
