Ralph is a boy with a heart as big as his backyard and a head full of sunshine-yellow ideas. He loves summer, adventures, and especially his sweet blueberry bushes.

But one morning, Ralph discovers a family of tiny, fluffy sparrows Mama Sparrow, Pip, Pep, and Pomp living in a nest that is too wet, too shaky, and far too close to the loud, clanking rain gutter!

Ralph decides they deserve better. With the help of his patient older brother, Ricky, Ralph trades his baseball mitt for a hammer!
