Publisher Description

Rose is a young scarlet macaw whose life begins in Costa Rica, where her parents care for her in the hollow of an old palm tree. They do their best to keep Rose safe, even if it means being strict. Then one day, when Rose and her parents go out to fly, she is stolen away from her family and the rainforest. Rose wants to fly and learn to be like her parents but she is stuck in a very drabby room, with only dry brown seeds to eat and a mean human who won't teach her anything. Rose is determined to be the bird she was meant to be, even if it means attempting a daring escape, eating a bug, or clucking like a chicken! This children's tale shares the true story of a young, scrappy bird as she sets out on a journey to find her way home.
