Little bird is so comfortable in its nest, playing with its stick, that it is the last to leave! When all its siblings learn to fly, little bird is left alone. Does little bird have the courage to use its wings? Will little bird crash to the forest floor, or soar alongside its siblings? Young readers will delight in this tale of young courage and trying to do new things even when they seem scary. Filled with beautiful watercolor illustrations by author/illustrator April Phillips.
