Description
A remarkably inventive tale about how birds ended up in the sky from a beloved author/illustrator team
Birds are everywhere--except in the air. Filling up the streets and houses, they're getting under everybody's feet. It's havoc, and the Fflyte family has had enough--there is simply not enough room for them on the ground. Then Mr. Fflyte, handyman around town, comes up with a brilliant invention that just may solve the problem.

Reviews
"There is an appeal (and certainly some moxie) to swapping the expected happy ending for this more ruminative approach." --Booklist on The Heron and the Crane
"Very funny." --The Wall Street Journal
"A little longer than most picture book texts, this witty, original pourqoui tale is a captivating story, particularly in combination with Blake's free-spirited and often amusing ink-and-watercolor artwork... a pleasure to read aloud." --Booklist
