Tariq Rana?s new children?s book ?Five Baby Blackbirds: Learn to Fly? (published by AuthorHouse) is a story with strong morals that remains accessible to young readers, making it a perfect book for parents first teaching their children to read and understand stories.

Children will delight at the antics of Brave Chick, Sporty Chick, Explorer Chick, Intelligent Chick and Baby Chick as they prepare for their grand adventure.
