A magical creature is born from a feather that's been sowed into the soil. As it grows, it discovers that it has characteristics of both a bird and a tree. The mighty oaks, only tall enough to see the creature's trunk, believe it's a tree and that it should stay grounded. The birds above, only able to see the creature's mass of sparkling feathers, believe it's a bird and urge it to take flight. The creature struggles between the two worlds until it sees itself as it really is--a new kind of being, a Shimmerling.

Its majestic presence evokes family, growth, changes, endings and new beginnings. Picture a tree -- what do you see? The possibilities are endless. In this gorgeous new picture book, Barbara Reid brings her vision, her craft, and her signature Plasticine artwork to the subject of trees.
