A delightfully funny story about friendship and seasonal change from the multi-award-winning Julia Donaldson.

Chack the blackbird and Apollo the swallow are friends.

But when Apollo tells Chack that he will soon be flying to Africa – Chack doesn't believe him.

And when Chack tells Apollo that the blossom on his favourite tree will one day turn into orange berries – Apollo doesn't believe him either!

But as the seasons change, Chack and Apollo are both in for a big surprise …

Join Chack and Apollo on a round-the-world adventure in this delightfully funny story about friendship and change.
