In the spirit of Mark Teague' s Fly, Baby Bird learns to overcome his fear of leaving the nest in this sweet and encouraging picture book. Mama Bird says it' s time to fly! Baby Bird thinks not. Nest is best. . . or is it? With the help of his mama, Baby Bird discovers the amazing things that can happen if he finds the courage to spread his wings and fly.
"Capturing both the lyrical quality of Lyon' s rhymed colloquy and a sense of how scary the wide world looks to the little bird, Coleman offers spare, delicately detailed views of an adult robin and her mottled offspring . . . A sensitive, loving variation on a perennial picture-book theme. " -- Kirkus Reviews "A fresh breeze blows through this familiar story of nurture and independence, thanks to Lyon' s emphatic metered verse, which offers structure to the avian ordeal, and Fizer Coleman' s digital art, whose varied cinematic framing evokes layered textures of printmaking and watercolor. " -- Publishers Weekly
