Can winning field day fix everything at home? Baby Bird hopes so—but learns something even more powerful.

In The Flock We Found, Baby Bird lives with Mama Bird, Papa Bird, and a lot of worry. Sometimes Papa Bird comes home too loud, too quiet, or just. . . different. Baby Bird believes that if he wins the tree’s field day games, Papa will come home happy. But when things don’t go as planned, Baby Bird feels crushed—until his neighbors and Mama help him see that love and support can come from unexpected places.
