What is All I Said Was... about?
A boy dreams of soaring through the sky, while a bird longs to settle down with a good book. When they agree to swap places, both get exactly what they wished for—but neither expects the trouble that follows. Flying is not as easy as it looks, and being mobbed by birds or chased by a farmer is no fun at all. Meanwhile, the bird discovers that reading in a warm bedroom may be better than life outdoors. Will either of them want to swap back?
