This charming picture book by newcomer Scott Beck features a particularly determined and lovable little bird. Pepito is afraid of heights, so when it is time to leave the nest, he must make his own way. A big fence, a wide river, and a busy road cannot stop this capable fellow, who just might be braver than he realizes.Big, bright, cut-paper images and a short but action-packed text will grab the attention of little ones as restless as Pepito himself, while the funky, retro design of the book and its unabashedly inspiring theme will remind parents of the classic picture books of their own childhood.
