"[A] heartwarming picture book about finding your flock." —Foreword Reviews (starred review) A boy with wings of midnight blue searches the skies for a flock where he belongs, not realizing that the raven next door is waiting for a friend. This story created by a New York Times best-selling illustrator soars with imagination.
Arlo lives alone among the clouds on a craggy clifftop. He loves to fly, doing loop-the-loops and skimming the sea with his feathery wing tips. But he longs for a flock, to fit in with the birds who fly all together. One day, Arlo hears an awful clattering, a tip-tap-tapping, right outside his home. Raven has moved in with his collection of found things—shiny and sharp, heavy and stub-your-toe big—and is noisily building a house. Arlo’s feelings brew like a storm! But Arlo soon discovers Raven is an understanding friend and that they can make great things together. Soon more friends of a feather are flocking together, and Arlo is finally found. Sweet illustrations bring this fantastical story to life.
