Tom, a very young cat, wants to be able to fly. Birds and bugs can, so why can't he? Tom travels farther away from home one day, where he had never gone to before. He tries teaching himself to fly in the hidden groves of the foothills . After meeting up with Sir Owl, Twitter, and a very rude Raven, he goes on to try to find his way home. Tom wanted to avoid meeting up with the very fierce cat, Tiger Bee, a mighty fighting hunter that every creature around there feared. Things don't always go the way that Tom had planned. He never dreamed of what would happen to him in the Big Barn, and who or what would be in there deciding his fate, but he would be glad later that difficulties sometimes can be the answer to our problems!
