The Bird Whisperer

A full-color story that will remind us of the importance of being present and open to the opportunities life offers.

Flying over the City of Lights, a little robin notices a cheerful, slanted-eyed girl pedaling fast on her bicycle. Dressed in the colors of a robin and running nimbly through the streets, she looks like a robin itself. The seasons go by, and the girl takes refuge in her work and follows her routine to a tee, sheltered by the comfort and affection that her cat, Max, gives her. However, an unusual event will truncate her life, and soon enough, the girl will discover that she can no longer pedal backward, only forwards.

Today is a gift -- it is all we have here and now. The present moment is where life happens. Being present allows us to pay full attention, observe, be grateful and open our eyes to all those little things that happen in our present.
