A story of love and reconciliation. Simply told as a fable, "Pretty Bird" is complex and enlightening for adult and young readers alike. When Bird witnesses the unfortunate disappearance of her mother and death of her sister from their nest, she finds her courage to go out into the forest on her own without the ability to fly. She meets new fascinating friends. Dog is a brave domestic Dog that now lives in the forest and Squirrel is an excitable friend that is forever loyal to Pretty Bird. Bird, Squirrel and Dog show us our most elemental natures as their story is told. Love, friendship, fears and triumphs are shared between unique quirky characters as they discover adventure and loyalty while realizing the risk and hurt that can come with love.
