This is an inspirational story of a little bird who loses his nest, but finds his wings. Winter is on the way and it's time to fly south.

This is a gentle and reassuring tale charmingly told and illustrated by an award-winning picture book creator. It is a sweet, gentle story about a young bird learning to fly on his own. Sure to be comforting to small children starting to test their own independence. The bird-learns-to-fly story as madcap adventure, complete with speeding cars, boats, a crane...even a scary cat!
