In this fable about coping with a physical disability, Tibby is a bird with a crooked wing who will never be able to fly. Undeterred, Tibby cheerfully travels around the forest, where he meets a variety of animals who teach him how to climb, slither, hop, and maneuver in other ways. And when Tibby uses his new-found abilities to save a baby robin, he becomes a hero.
