On a country road, a pretty girl stands with a falcon on her shoulder. In her arms is a small basket full of colors. The bird takes the colors, one by one, and flies up into the sky to create a beautiful design across the heavens, finer than any that could be seen anywhere. Then once their work is done, the bird returns to the girl.

Intended for readers of all ages, this vivid picture book about roads and life emphasizes the importance of fantasy and imagination.
