Synopsis
'All birds are born to fly,' thinks Baby Bird, watching the other hatchlings leave the nest. 'I suppose it's now or never...' But one of Baby's wings is twisted and shrunken and not at all like the other one. Instead of flying, Baby plummets to the ground. There, Baby makes a new friend, and learns that sometimes you have to find unexpected ways to achieve your dreams. A moving story about the power of friendship and the importance of accepting yourself just the way you are, this lovely watercolour picture book shows how friends can help you overcome difficulty.

'Another quietly motivational tale, this time about a bird grounded by a twisted wing. 'All birds are born to fly,' Baby bird thinks dejectedly-until he overcomes his physical adversities to discover an alternative mode of flight.' * The Oldie * 'An emotive story about loving yourself, having big dreams and the power of friendship... With sumptuously inky illustrations' * PictureBookBlogger * 'A powerful story addressing themes of disability, determination and finding different ways to a achieve difficult goals.' * Achuka * 'I love it when a beautiful cover draws me into a book - and this cover is simply gorgeous... Zosienka is the illustrator, who so perfectly conveys the emotion of the book through delicate watercolours; text and illustrations combine to bring a strong message of acceptance, perseverance and friendship' * Parents in Touch * 'a powerful story about friendship & inclusivity...beautifully addresses themes of disability, determination and finding different ways to achieve difficult goals' * Just Imagine * 'I really loved this, especially the bird because he was so brave!' * Jack Radford, age 5, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * 'I really liked the pictures of the birds in the book. The Baby Bird is very colourful.

We particularly liked the birds eating the worms and the aerial view of the countryside.' * mother, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * 'Baby Bird is like Finding Nemo meets a determined little bird...
