Every spring the jackdaws come back to the old cottage garden, wheeling and chattering above the tiled roof. This year one young jackdaw tumbles from the flock with a broken wing and lands, frightened and alone, among the flowers.
A kind hedgehog finds him, and the two unlikely friends face the long weeks of waiting together: the sore wing, the nights under the hedge, the first hop, the first flutter, and the day he must decide whether he is brave enough to try the sky again.
A warm, beautifully illustrated story about kindness, patience and getting back up after a fall, from the David Binelli Nature Tales. Perfect for bedtime or a quiet afternoon read.
