Another book I and my daughter both enjoyed
is 'The Singing Hat' by Tohby Riddle:
"In The Singing Hat (Viking,
2000) city-dweller Colin Jenkins finds himself resting peacefully under
a tree in a park. He wakes and makes his way home, unaware that a bird
has built a nest on his head. His daughter encourages him to leave the
bird alone, so he decides to simply adapt so that the bird is not
disturbed.
Colin does not realise the complications
his new bird hat will bring. The nest helps him to meet new people, but
it also alienates him from existing friends and excludes him from
places where he was previously welcome. He loses his job and his home
and finds himself wondering how such a simple decision to be different
could have such a large impact on his life.
As the bird finally flies away and leaves
the nest behind, Colin discovers that his experiences with the bird and
its nest have left him changed forever."
