A little bird, a big sky, and the first time out of the nest! A robin’s first flight is a gentle reminder about what we can accomplish if we just keep trying. As reviewer Sue Lowell Gallion says, “Children (and parents!) experiencing the many firsts of growing up will relate to this lively story of a young robin learning to fly. Playful, rhyming text and winsome water color illustrations give readers a birds’ eye view of he baby birds’ emotions and adventures on its way to solo flight.”

Masterpiece Robot by Frank Tra and Rebecca Evans, Video

Published on

A special thanks to 12 year old, Josiah Evans, for making this amazing stop motion Masterpiece Robot video for our book Masterpiece Robot and the Ferocious Valerie Knick-Knack. He did an amazing job and I had to laugh when I watched it (especially at his surprise ending!). I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. If you’d like to learn more about the book please visit my book page HERE, and to purchase the book please visit Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
