Children learn about the characteristics of robins, but more importantly, are given a sweet story about the firsts of growing up. Children will be inspired in classrooms and at home to see the beauty in the world around us

A little bird, a big sky, and the first time out of the nest A robin's first flight is a gentle reminder about what we can accomplish if we just keep trying. As reviewer Sue Lowell Gallion says, "Children (and parents ) experiencing the many firsts of growing up will relate to this lively story of a young robin learning to fly. Playful, rhyming text and winsome water color illustrations give readers a birds' eye view of the baby birds' emotions and adventures on its way to solo flight."
