(PRLeap.com) "Ridiculous Nicholas," a new book by Margaret Hay, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A heartwarming tale that encourages young readers to find joy in the world around them.

In the story, a young boy named Nicholas joins his class for an outdoor lesson about birds. While his exuberant spirit initially causes a bit of a "ruckus" when he crafts a makeshift crown from leaves and straw, his classmates soon transition from surprise to celebration, cheering on his unique creative spark.

Today's lesson is about more than just birds. It's about how children interact with nature and each other. Nicholas shows us that a little bit of 'ruckus' can lead to a lot of community spirit.
