In the first book in this series Filomena discovers that we all see the world through a frame of mind and that observation is a powerful tool to help us understand how others see the world. In the summer, Filomena goes to the garden where she has a diverse group of friends who enrich her life. Through their conversations, Filomena learns about the long journey to and back from Mexico which some of the birds and butterflies in the garden take each year. She enjoys seeing the squirrels and the birds take turns eating from the birdfeeder that hangs from a lamppost. Liberty the blue jay, however, does not see why she needs to be considered with other birds as she eats her fill. She is in for a surprise, however, that will help her understand how much friends, working together, can achieve.
