“Dad? I’ll never forget this day.”
Over the course of two weeks, young Maya and her dad create a lifelong memory as they watch the nest-to-flight process of an Eastern phoebe brood. This heartwarming fable is illustrated by dramatic images as young birds hatch and take wing. At the same time, Maya and her dad forge an alliance as they discuss how birds—and children—will eventually leave the nest.
