Tully is the main focal point of the book. The book starts with him as an unhatched egg, and that egg gets blown out of the nest and falls safely through foliage to land delicately on the ground. Tully hatches from the egg, far away from any other pterodactyls. He can’t find anyone who looks like him (with wings) and eventually starts to cry and miss his family. He is sad he does not know how to fly, so that he can fly home. He meets Edmond (an edmontosaurus) , who cheers him up and becomes his friend. Eventually after playing together in the grass, he spots his mom flying around looking for him, but she can not hear him call to her. He eventually musters enough courage to try flying (with a little courage boost from Edmond) and he after try, try, trying again and again (practice make sperfect) he manages to fly off the ground and meet his mama mid air. The book ends with Tully reunited with his brothers and sisters (also now hatched) in the nest and Edmond is off in the distance smiling.
