Summary

In this second book in the Coast Salish Tales series, Qwiwilh the wood duck is preparing to nest in his favorite tree when Q’uleeq’e’ the crow invites him to play in the tall branches. They jump higher and higher up the tree until they accidentally break the branches and come crashing down into the stream below. After a daring rescue, Qwiwilh sadly realizes his nesting spot is gone, and Q’uleeq’e’ decides to make things right for her new friend.
