A beautiful book about a bird that feels she cannot fly without her friend, the wind. So, on a day with no wind – not even a breeze – she searches, not very high and low for her friend, without success. Yet, when she has an idea to look from the tallest building, she realizes that she can fly – all by herself! A wonderful story.
