Stellaluna

Stellaluna is the book we will be reading for Text Talk. Stellaluna, a fruit bat, gets separated from her mother and moves in with a family of birds. She struggles to behave as the birds do. Then she finds her mother again and learns that everything she was doing naturally was just right for a fruit bat.

The words we will be building in our conversation are:
clutched
crooned
gasped
sighed
adapt
plunged
