Comedy godfather Bill Cosby teams up with his artistic daughter Erika
for a quintessentially Cosby-style story about the importance of being
oneself--albeit a slightly weird, if playfully illustrated,
tale--involving the antics of a couple acrobatic seabirds.
Meet Slipper, Feathers, and Hog. Three of the rarest birds ever known to humankind.
Now
people say birds of a feather tend to flock together, but not on the
Beach by the Rock. That's where these three unique friends meet for the
first time, performing risky feats for one another and then later for
the hundreds of folks who gather to watch.
But when the stunts of
the most gifted and eager-to-please bird are overshadowed by the sheer
beauty of his best friend, an attempt to borrow back the limelight
nearly ends in disaster. Why do these birds stunt fly at all? What do
they expect from the skies, one another, and the crowds below? And just
what are the people on the beach looking for from them?
It takes a flight of imagination, the courage to be oneself, and the support of good friends to find out.
