This is the story of a songbird who had forgotten how to sing. With feathers of black and scarlet and gold woven about him like fine cloth, he had once soared above the long lost city where he lived making beautiful music for all the other creatures to hear. But one day his singing stopped and he was heard no more. What had happened that he had forgotten how to sing? And why would such a fine bird need to sing at all? Fly with our songbird in this elegantly illustrated book to discover why, and travel through the air above a long lost city listening to a music of love and loss and joy in life rediscovered. It is a story that will appeal both to young readers and adults.
