Benjamin Birdie’s First Flight is the debut picture book in the Benjamin Birdie Children’s Book Series, and introduces Benjamin Birdie -- the little bird with a BIG dream! Benjamin Birdie is anxious to fly like all the other birds in the sky. But his mama tells him he isn't quite ready yet. Benjamin doesn't listen and tries to give flying a go but falls all the way down from the top of the tree to the forest floor.
After his unsuccessful first flight, Benjamin Birdie is still anxious to fly like all the other birds. With his wings now grown stronger, and support from his mom, Benjamin is ready to give flying another try. Nervously leaping from his nest, he stumbles at first, but recovers just in time after hearing the encouraging voices of all his tree-dwelling friends, cheering him on! Benjamin's newfound flying skills inspire his friends to follow their own dreams and try things once thought they couldn't do.
Shayla wakes up one bright early morning and her favorite socks are missing! They mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night and are nowhere to be found. Did they scamper away in Shayla s sleep and not bother to say goodbye? Join Shayla and her mom in this fun, lyrical mystery-adventure as they search high and low for Shayla s mischievous socks while dreaming up several fun and unusual scenarios that her socks could have been in from going to a ballgame to joining the circus to soaring through a starlit sky all with a surprisingly clever twist at the end.
