4. The central idea of the book (what the book is about):
Ans: This book is about a bird who didn’t yet know how to fly and has to decide if it will try to fly, but it is not sure if it wants to. The bird thought, “If I never forever endeavor,” then I won’t ever learn. On one wing, he worries he might fail, and on the other wing, he thinks of how he may succeed. He worries that if he tries, he may get lost in the world. That makes him want to stay in his nest, where he’s safe.

5. The important characters in the book and what they do
Ans: This book is about a bird who didn’t yet know how to fly.

6. What you like about the book
Ans: My favourite part is that the bird tried and learned that she could fly. I also liked that I read this book because it gave me a chance to talk to my mom about making mistakes and how I don’t like making them. Then I learned they are good and are part of learning.

7. Why you want others to read the book/what you learn from the book
Ans: I think this book would help other children learn that trying new things can be scary, but sometimes when we try, we can find things that make us happy too. And this book will help others know that mistakes are okay and part of learning.
Boys and girls who are 3 to 8 years old would like this book because it teaches about trying something new and how it’s important to get past being scared so you can learn new things.
