Bookroo's summary

A young grouse, interrupted on her migration, finds solace in a new land as her cherished Forever Flowers bloom. Amidst winter's darkness, she discovers unexpected joy and contentment. But with spring's arrival, she faces a poignant choice: remain in this newfound happiness or resume her journey. Will she embrace the comfort of the present or heed the call of the skies? This tender tale explores the delicate balance of holding on and letting go.

From the publisher

In this tender story about the virtues of finding, keeping, and letting go, a young grouse is waylaid on her seasonal migration and carries her precious cargo to a new land. As the bird’s favorite Forever Flowers grow from planted seeds to blooming flowers, she discovers how unexpectedly one can stumble upon happiness and breathe into the contentment of life’s quiet moments, even amidst the winter’s dark. When spring arrives again, though, the grouse must make a decision: should she stay or fly away?
