Scooter's dream of helping others with his kind words is threatened when a bully teases him for being unable to fly, but Scooter learns the true value of positive words and forgiveness.
Scooter has always wanted to be able to fly, but since he can't, he uses a scooter to get around and spread his message of kindness. However, a bully named Squawk teases him and the other birds. Are you even a bird? Squawk taunts.
Scooter learns just how much words can hurt, so he takes some advice from his favorite author, Wendell's, book and decides to stand up to Squawk and help his friends--by using positive words!
One day, when Scooter finds himself in a dangerous situation, to his surprise, Squawk offers words that help him. In return, Scooter makes a friendly offer to Squawk that will hopefully get Squawk to change his bullying ways.
