Then a baby bird hatches! The baby is fed and nurtured by... the forest fairies, and both the baby and the fairies begin to explore what it means to grow up, and to learn how to fly, and what it means to be parents. They feel sunshine and rain, smell flowers, taste berries, and see butterflies. One day, the baby learns to spread its wings and fly. Take the journey with a baby bird!Penny's Puppets in Stone SoupPenny Russell (she/hers) is a Puppeteer, Musician, and Teaching Artist based in Prince George’s County, MD.
