Meet Pipit, a lost and featherless little bird, who is taken in by a family of wildflowers. With their gentle guidance, Pipit learns what it means to belong, to grow, and to trust the magic of who they truly are. Through story, song, and movement, this tiny dreamer blossoms into their real self - cheered on by the family who chose them.
A heart-felt tale that celebrates the wisdom of flowers, the beauty of blooms, and the power of being just who you are!
