A heartwarming story of problem-solving, creativity, and never giving up.

When Zai sets out to build the best birdhouse ever for his class project, he's bursting with excitement. But when the wood cracks and the walls tumble down, Zai's dream crashes with it.

Frustrated and ready to quit, Zai is reminded by his friend Ellie that mistakes aren't the end -- they're the beginning of learning. Together, they sketch, plan, and rebuild using recycled materials like cereal boxes, bottle caps, and twigs. With patience, teamwork, and lots of "oops moments," Zai transforms failure into something extraordinary: a colorful birdhouse named Sky Nest!
