Clay Bird is a poignant tale of Sichu, a nine-year-old girl and her dotting potter grandfather. The young adolescent Sichu’s relationship with her grandfather is shaken when her more affluent classmates ridicule her potter grandfather. Sichu reacts to being the butt of the joke amongst her peers by lashing out at her grandfather.
Her grandfather passes as Sichu continues to struggle with her young adolescent life. The sudden loss of her grandfather shakes up Sichu once again. To her surprise, she realizes that her grandfather’s creations brought joy to the whole community. This realization helps Sichu find her way out of her sense of loss and emerge stronger and proud of her family and heritage. She celebrates her grandfather’s legacy by reclaiming a clay bird she shattered which had been lovingly put back together by her grandfather.
