"There once was a girl-bird name Gertude McFuzz And she had the smallest plain tail ever was. One droopy-droop feather. That's all that she had. And, oh! That one feather made Gertude so sad." As the story begins, a young bird named Gertrude is self-conscious and overly sensitive about her single, seemingly insignificant tail feather.

Ultimately left helpless by her obsession to be prettier, Gertrude (and the reader) learn a valuable lesson about accepting and believing in oneself.
