A fresh and heartwarming new story from Il Sung Na about finding the courage to make a friend.
 
Bird is new to the forest, and he’s looking for a friend. Bear could use a friend, too.

Has Bird missed his chance?
 
From the acclaimed Il Sung Na comes a charming and beautifully illustrated story about courage, kindness, and friendship.

Praise for Il Sung Na:
 
"Na brings fresh energy to the familiar. With a coloring style that feels as if someone took a firecracker to a box of crayons, Na makes turtle shells as dynamic as a peacock's plumage." —The New York Times (The Opposite Zoo)
“Il Sung Na’s illustrative art is so joyous, so jubilantly colorful, it feels celebratory and poetic even when the story is simple and spare.” —The Boston Globe (A Book of Babies)
★ “[A] grand read-aloud.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred (Welcome Home, Bear)
 
★ "It’s the rare picture book that, upon arrival, feels as though it has been around for years already; Na’s belongs to this group.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred (A Book of Sleep)
★ "Vibrant [and] whimsical.” —School Library Journal, Starred (Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit)
