	[ See an excerpt ]	From the Author I see Sammy as an energetic, curious, fun-loving sparrow who is always ready for adventure.  He loves discovering new things about the world around him. He is also very confident and a bit headstrong.  These qualities can lead him to fly into events before he thinks through them carefully. In this story, Sammy finds he doesn’t know everything about the creatures flying with him in the desert.
