Summary
Every morning a man named Albert wakes up and sticks his hand out his bedroom window to determine the weather and every morning he decides that it's either "too cold," "too damp," or "too breezy" to go outside. Then one day, as his hand is sticking out the window, a pair of birds build a nest on it and lays eggs. Unwilling to hurt the eggs, Albert keeps his hand out the window and holds the nest. As Albert guards the eggs, and later the newborn birds, he discovers that, just like the baby birds, he wants to spread his wings and explore the world. Colored pencil illustrations accompany the text. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2001.

Media Reviews
"This is sentimental and contrived but not unappealing, and, as morals go, learning how to take the good with the bad is not an unworthy lesson." -- Janice M. Del Negro
-- Bulletin of the Center for Children\'s Books
"The deadpan prose and warmly humorous illustrations combine to keep the reader's disbelief suspended (just barely), creating a sweetly reassuring book about taking chances."
-- Kirkus

Publisher's Notes
You never know what a day will bring. The morning begins like any other. Albert reaches out the window to check the weather. But from the moment a twig lands smack in the palm of his hand, life is never the same. In her first picture book, Donna Jo Napoli invents a magical and inspiring tale that will capture the heart of any reader who has loved a pet. Jim LaMarche creates an endearing character in Albert and a classic setting for the miraculous new world that unfolds around him.
