I love this book! Surely, everyone who has ever read this book must love it. The illustrations are detailed and beautiful and full of personality. The language is rich and the story is multi-layered. When a baby fruit bat gets separated from her mother and falls into a nest of baby birds, she does her best to fit in, eating the bugs that mother bird brings, sleeping by night, and not hanging by her toes.  But then she flies ahead one day during flight practice, and instead of flying back to the nest at dusk, she stays out on her own past dark, where she meets others like herself, who teach her how to be a bat again. And she gets reunited with her mother, too.  When she returns to the nest to share all her new discoveries with her bird friends, things don’t quite go as planned, but they all decide their friendship overrides all their differences.
