Book excerpt: Meet Dusty-a recently hatched seagull. He has a fear of heights and as a result, Dusty is afraid to fly. The inability to fly embarrasses him. Even though he is afraid, Dusty is willing to trust his friends and face his fears. He doesn't seek adventure, but adventure seems to follow him as he finds himself in some rather unusual situations. A bird's first reaction to any problem is to fly away. But because he can't fly, Dusty is forced to face obstacles that shape his character in ways that make him unique. He would rid himself of his fear of heights if he could, but he doesn't know how to do it. He must learn to trust and depend upon friends and learn the value of friendship.
