When Daddy Couldn't Fly

When Daddy Couldn't Fly Paperback Book

What happens when someone you love suddenly can't do all the things they used to?

When Daddy Couldn't Fly is the heartfelt story that began The Little Magpie Series.

When Daddy Magpie becomes poorly and can no longer fly, Jakey's little world suddenly feels very different. Through worry, change and uncertain days, Jakey discovers that even when Daddy's wings aren't working as they once did, his love for his family hasn't changed at all.

Inspired by our own family's experience, this gentle rhyming story was created to help children understand parental illness and changes within family life in a comforting and reassuring way.

Filled with beautiful illustrations, love and hope, it's a story about courage, family and staying close when life doesn't quite go to plan.

Perfect for sharing together when little ones have big questions or simply need reminding that, whatever happens, a family's love can help carry us through.
