**A fledgling teeters at the edge of his nest in a gorgeously
illustrated tale sure to resonate with anyone facing a rite of passage,
change, or challenge.

Safe inside his cozy nest, a young bird considers whether or not to give
his new wings a try. What if he tries and the wings don't work, and he
flails, plummets, and looks foolish? Then again, what if his wings take
him swooping and gliding, sailing and flying through a great big
wonderful world? He'll never know if he never endeavors. With the help
of her bold, beautiful collage artwork, Caldecott Honor-winning artist
Holly Meade offers a gentle nudge for hesitant fledglings of all ages
and species to step out, to dare, to try . . . and to fly.
