A gorgeously illustrated story of a swallow who goes against the flock, and the wonderful friendship that emerges from her decision. For kids 3-7, The Swallow Who Stayed is a beautiful celebration of the seasons and what happens when we have the courage to be different. Iris asked the other birds, "What happens to the forest when we leave?" But nobody knew the answer. No swallow had ever stayed long enough to see.
