A friend of ours is having a baby in a few months. A couple of days after Natalie heard about it she came up to me in the kitchen with this drawing and said she wanted to “give it to the baby”. It has since been framed and delivered. The Momma said she got goose bumps when she saw it.

The Bird That Always Sings
Once upon a time there was a little bird. The owners didn’t like the bird so they threw the birdcage out and it landed on a cloud.
Then the bird falled to the ground because she didn’t know how to fly. Then she singed a happy song for being alive! She was so, SO happy that she flew up!
She got to be a grown up and that’s happy!
The End
