You Can Fly, Little Bird follows Serene, a cautious chick who watches her siblings leave the nest while she fears the forest beyond. With time and curiosity, she gathers courage to try her own wings.
She tells her story of a bird family in a way that children can see themselves as one of the baby birds, either the bold, adventurous type or the more reserved and pondering type. Learning that both kinds of people have value and their own unique skills is a great message for children.
Tuula Pere is a master of disguising beautiful and profound messages in simple stories that are relatable to children of all ages; her work in You Can Fly, Little Bird is no different.
The illustrations by Alexandra Burda are done in fine line artwork and with wholesome characteristics that give the scenery and characters a homely feel. The colors and style fit perfectly with the story’s message, with dramatic images for the two brave siblings and more clam for Serene.

You Can Fly, Little Bird is a cute, touching, colorfully-illustrated children's book by Tuula Pere.
