Mother Owl and Blink sit on a branch at the edge of the wood through a long summer's day. Mother Owl sleeps but Blink watches and waits and waits - when will it be his turn? He watches the creatures of the wood - but when will it be his turn? As dusk draws in, he dozes and suddenly the time is now - the anticipation, the nervous excitement and finally the timeless revelling glory of his maiden flight are exquisitely drawn in words and illustrations. This book will be treasured for it touches the spirit.
