Such a wonderful Story. Baby bird is born with a deformed wing. It is shorter than his other wing, and it means he will probably never fly. But the little guy has heart and he is going to try his dangdest to get off the ground. He even makes a new friend, who teaches him you don’t need wings to fly. A lovely book, about never giving up, and that different is not a bad thing.

I enjoy reading picture books that teach children about the importance of acceptance. This book will help children better understand that it is ok to be different and I absolutely adore the watercolors which make me think of spring

Beautiful illustrations lend to a wonderful story about differences and the true meaning of friendship. A definite winner!

Baby Bird ended up being a little different from the other hatchlings. One of his wings was twisted and shrunken, but the other wing seemed quite normal. He noticed his other siblings had wings that matched and they all soon flew away from the nest. But not Baby Bird. When he hollered, “Wait for me!” he flapped and flapped, but fell straight to the ground. So he practiced trying to fly all morning, but he always fell short of flying. So short, in fact, that another bird showed up and asked why he was jumping up and down over and over. Baby Bird assured him that he’s not jumping, he’s learning to fly. But will Baby ever learn to fly?

Cons:  None

Pros: A story of friendship, compassion, and acceptance.  Beautiful illustrations.

Baby Bird has one perfect wing and one that limits his ability to fly despite his many efforts. This is a story about how meeting a new friend can change perspective and help one to cope with challenges. A clear message contained in a short children's story. As usual with this publisher, the illustrations are appealing.

This is a truly exceptional children's book. I would happily add it to my own collection and strongly recommend it to others. The story is sweet. We meet baby bird who can't fly well despite a ton of effort because he has a small wing. While trying repeatedly to fly, Bird meets Cooter, who tries to help him.

This book has beautiful illustrations and a lovely story. It's definitely worth reading and keeping a copy for yourself.

Beautiful illustrations and a very heartwarming story. We'll definitely get this for our library.

Baby Bird is the cutest bird that you can ever see, but he has a little problem when the moment to learn how to fly comes. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot make it as his brothers. His wings are not the same size, so flying was kind of impossible. Baby Bird is so discouraged that he wants to give in, till he meets another bird, which happens to be a goose. With his help and encouragement, Baby Bird learns that sometimes to make our dreams come true we need a little help from friends.
