Quincy the Quail Leads His Family on an Adventure

Do you know anyone who is a little clumsy? Maybe they trip on stairs. Or perhaps bump into walls. It happens, but that’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Meet Quincy the Quail. He trips over branches and bumps into cacti, but he excels at leading his family around their desert home to hunt for food. His mate, Quella, and chicks love him, help him, and giggle when his topknot falls in front of his eyes. Quincy has an unlikely desert friend who guards the neighborhood. When Quincy finds himself in big trouble, his friend saves his life.

This book is appropriate for children ages 3-7, but readers of all ages will enjoy learning about helping others, even though they are different.
