About This Book

The soft flutter of tiny wings fills the air as Pooh discovers a small blue bird trembling in the forest. Her feathers shine like the morning sky, but no matter how much honey and hugs Pooh and his friends offer, Baby Blue feels lonely. It’s only when Owl soars high above the trees that she finds the joy of home — but what does that truly mean?
