Meet Feathers McGee - the most magnificent eagle in Tall Pines Forest, and the only one who takes the bus.
He has a six-foot wingspan, eyes sharp enough to spot a field mouse from two miles away, and a monthly bus pass he uses religiously. Because Feathers McGee has a problem. A very high-up, absolutely-not-happening, EXTREMELY inconvenient problem.
He is afraid of heights.
When a tiny baby robin climbs too high and gets stuck, the whole forest looks to Feathers for help. But every rescue attempt goes spectacularly wrong - his best friend Gerald flies directly into a bush, kindly Dr. Penguin remembers too late that penguins cannot actually fly, and backup arrives from the old tortoise with an ETA of Thursday. It is currently Monday.
With nothing left but a wobbly homemade ladder, fifty wagered earthworms, and one catastrophically well-timed sneeze, Feathers McGee is about to discover something extraordinary.
You don't have to be fearless to be brave. You just have to show up - even when showing up means going higher than you ever planned.
Funny, heartfelt, and packed with visual gags on every page, Up, Up, and No Way! is a celebration of courage, friendship, and the dignity of always, always sticking the landing.
Perfect for ages 4-8 and every adult who has ever said absolutely not before doing it anyway.
