Oh My Baby, Little One

When Baby Bird says good-bye to his mama at school each morning, he feels sad. Mama Bird feels sad, too. Sometimes it's hard to be apart. But as Mama Bird says, the love they share is with them always, keeping them close until the best part of the day—when they are together again.

Baby bird has a hard time saying good-bye to his mama at school each morning, but Mama's love stays with him all day long.
