To Fly or Not to Fly?

From George Flies South by Simon James

As icy winds scatter the last of fall leaves, our skies fill with flocks of birds arrowing southward at a purposeful pace.

Acorns and Stew, Too is about a girl who finds a way to keep ducks safely grounded and George Flies South is about a baby bird mustering up the courage to fly away.
