This delightful story about raising and rearing a baby kookaburra is based on a true story. When tiny Jeremy falls out of his nest and is brought home by the family cat, he is only a few days old. Luckily, Jeremy is a fighter and as the weeks go by he grows stronger and stronger, until the time comes when he must say goodbye.

Jeremy loves horses, New York, the cello, and Susan, the new girl at school. Susan loves Jeremy too.
