(2) K-3 When Mama Jay flies away from the nest, a baby blue jay promises to stay put, but she accidentally falls. Using speech bubbles and lush illustrations, Gerstein records the unfolding drama as the balance of bravery and timidity keeps shifting. Baby Jay finally spreads her wings and finds that, though life outside can be dangerous, it can be exhilarating as well.
