About the Book

Have you ever heard of a bird that was afraid of heights? Well, Augie is one such bird. Augie’s life was limited to his nest, where he lived with his fears. He was so afraid; he couldn’t even leave his nest to get out on the limb his nest rested upon. He lived with embarrassment as the other birds flew by, teasing him and laughing at him. Then one day, out of nowhere, Coleman the Cat showed up at Augie’s nest. That was when everything changed for Augie. The two struck up a rather unusual friendship, and what follows is how Coleman helps Augie deal with his fears and his insecurities. You’ll have to read the book, however, to see if Augie ever gets over his fears and really flies.

Customer Reviews

"This is a delightful children?s book with vivid, appealing illustrations and tells the story of Augie, the bird who was afraid of heights. Even after his Mum and sister show him how to fly from his nest he is too scared to do so. He knows he can fly from one side of the nest to the other but he just won?t leave the safety of his nest. When he?s visited by Coleman the cat he?s still too scared to fly away. This is the beginning of an unlikely friendship between the two and this is when everything changes for Augie. To find out what happens, you?ll just have to read the book yourself!
This is a sweet story of unlikely friendship and support enabling Augie to leave behind his fears and achieve his goal. It shows that you shouldn?t always automatically assume the worst about others from gossip you?ve heard and that working together can help you succeed. It is told in an easy to relate to manner and the illustrations really enhance the story, bringing it to life. I really enjoyed this story and, as a parent or a teacher, could easily use it to help children understand that it is important to make your own mind up about others and to keep on trying if you want to succeed at something. It also shows that different people are ready to do things at different times - and this is not wrong, just everyone being an individual. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this beautiful children?s book.
Thanks to the author for letting me read this in exchange for an honest review."
