Everyone grows up and takes flight at their own speed.

Quincy Quill is an adorable baby bird eager to chirp and ready to fly. But things aren't happening as quickly as he would like. Will he learn to chirp? Is he ever going to be able to fly? Written when she was nine years old, Raquel Arrechea brings her story, accompanied by the beautiful illustrations of Tanja Russita, about growing up and taking flight to children everywhere.

“The Bird that Couldn’t Fly is a story of family love, the ability to grow/to rise from it out into the world. And because the author’s presence is there in the opening and closing notes, it is a story for both a child and the adult who reads it with the child.” – Author and Poet Myra Shapiro
