Little Puffling watches the other birds soaring high above the cliffs as they prepare to fly away in the autumn and worries if he will ever be ready to join them.

But Puffling's mummy takes him on an adventure to see how all the other young animals take their first steps from seals and otters to orcas and deer during which he gains confidence to make his first flight, sure in the knowledge there is always someone there to help him on the way.
