Bookroo's summary

Bob, a worried baby bird, watches his friends soar while he struggles to take off. As doubt creeps in, his friend Crow offers a simple yet profound solution: breathe. Can Bob find the courage to trust himself and take flight? Discover how a lesson in mindfulness might be the key to calming his fears and unlocking his potential. Will Bob's wings finally lift him skyward, or will his worries keep him grounded? Join Bob on a heartwarming journey of self-belief and discovery.

From the publisher

An anxious baby bird who fears he’ll never learn to fly gets a lesson in mindfulness in this funny and sweetly encouraging picture book about believing in yourself. Every morning, the birds are flapping with excitement for their first flight of the day…except for Bob. Bob doesn’t get the whole flying thing; when the other baby birds go up, up, up, he goes down, down, down. Bob can’t help worrying…what if he never learns how to fly? His friend Crow tells him, “All you need to do is breathe, Bob.” Of course, Bob breathes all the time, but there’s breathing and then there’s B-R-E-A-T-H-I-N-G. And it might just be the thing to calm Bob’s ruffled feathers.
