Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Today is the day. Fledgling's first flight. She is afraid. But she is the oldest, so she must go first. Below, the city is large and loud. There is excitement, but there is also danger. And most of all, when Fledgling is far away, there is the longing for home. Robert J. Blake, creator of the award-winning Akiak: A Tale from the Iditarod, takes young readers through the struggle of a bird's first flight and mastery of the air, reminding them of their own first steps into a larger world.
When a young kestrel makes its first flight among the buildings of a city, it is pursued by a hawk.
