Caged

Caged is a wordless and witty tale of freedom, ingenuity, and thwarted ambition . While a bluebird builds her nest in the forest, two eccentric gentlemen have a more ambitious construction in mind: a vast palatial building made from birdcages filled with colorful parrots . As the trees come down and the structure goes up, the bluebird watches the spectacle . More and more caged birds are consigned to their fate until at last a huge dome completes the work . However, when the celebrating architects go in to admire their creation, the little bluebird brings their ambitions crashing down around them . SEL Connections: • Empathy • Respect for others • Analyzing situations • Solving problems • Ethical responsibility
