An anxious baby bird who fears he'll never learn to fly gets a lesson in mindfulness in this funny and sweetly encouraging picture book about believing in yourself.

Every morning, the birds are flapping with excitement for their first flight of the day...except for Bob. Bob doesn't get the whole flying thing; when the other baby birds go up, up, up, he goes down, down, down. Bob can't help worrying...what if he never learns how to fly?

His friend Crow tells him, 'All you need to do is breathe, Bob.' Of course, Bob breathes all the time, but there's breathing and then there's B-R-E-A-T-H-I-N-G. And it might just be the thing to calm Bob's ruffled feathers.

Industry Reviews

"'A gentle story about conquering self-doubt, quirkily illustrated.' Sunday Telegraph

'This is sound advice for any bird or child who is trying too hard, overextending, and missing whatever goal they are trying to reach. Using watercolour, pencil, and digital art the simple colourful illustrations are very effective in giving Bob and Crow variety of humorous expressions that instantly engage the reader. Sujean cleverly uses primary colours and plenty of white space to put the focus on Bob and his problem. He is a constant vibrant red dot on each page.
'Fun and appealing for the littlies who can practise some of Bob's breathing exercises and a timely reminder about ""taking a breath"" when something isn't working out immediately.' Magpies"
