A young girl lovingly narrates this story about the special relationship she has with her quirky, birdlike Aunt May. May lives far away in the comfiest of houses with her "special fellow" - a canary named Willy. During the girl's twice-yearly visits to her aunt, all three share never-to-be forgotten times.
