Elwood Bigfoot is big, clumsy, LOUD . . . and lonely. It's hard for him to make friends-especially with the tiny, delicate birdies he loves so much. Each flash of their feathers, each chirp and cheerful song helps him feel less alone. But whenever a birdie swoops by, and Elwood hollers at it to STAY, the scared creature flies away. He tries everything: sitting on a branch, having a housewarming party, even building an amusement park with snacks and pools. But nothing helps-until Elwood finally learns how to make his bird dreams come true.
