A full-color story that will remind us of the importance of being
present and open to the opportunities life offers.Flying over the
City of Lights, a little robin notices a cheerful, slanted-eyed
girl pedaling fast on her bicycle. Dressed in the colors of a robin
and running nimbly through the streets, she looks like a robin
itself. The seasons go by, and the girl takes refuge in her work
and follows her routine to a tee, sheltered by the comfort and
affection that her cat, Max, gives her. However, an unusual event
will truncate her life, and soon enough, the girl will discover
that she can no longer pedal backward, only forwards. Today is a
gift — it is all we have here and now. The present moment is
where life happens. Being present allows us to pay full attention,
observe, be grateful and open our eyes to all those little things
that happen in our present.
