Ca-Caw!Every day a little girl rides to school on the back of her fathers bike. As they twist and turn through the streets the little girl spreads her arms like wings and sings her birdsong for all to hear. But when they pass a strange woman in blue who carries a mysterious bag the girl goes quiet until the woman is out of sight. One day when theyre running late the little girl discovers what the woman does with her bag each morninga surprise that transforms her wariness into a feeling of kinship to be celebrated.
