Summary:As a little boy's window glows warmly against the cold night, he gets tucked into bed while his dads enjoy an evening out. Sleep eludes him, weighted as he is with the feeling that he's lost something. Then he suddenly spots outside his window . . . a pterosaur? Soon, the boy and the magnificent creature are off, swooping and soaring, searching the park, the river, the dark itself, until he finds what he's looking for--and winds up back in his bed with his beloved dads beside him.
